It’s fascinating to observe how the simple modification of letting students stand & work on at the white board (compared to working at their desks) impacts engagement. Consider incorporating an offline standing station for students who need a break from sitting. #blendedlearning
Use it or lose it! I asked staff to invite me to teach lessons in their classrooms so I can stay connected and keep my skills sharp. This was my first invite and I LOVED it! #principal#keepingitreal#inmyelement
It was exciting to welcome our new principal, Dr. Amanda Denson, to @JeffersonSCSD this morning! Thrilled to have Dr. Denson join our SCSD family. #scsdBEST
Piling on work doesn’t equate to learning, especially if some kids don’t have adequate parental support at home. Make it manageable, use common sense, and find ways to give learners valuable feedback. It’s not how much is assigned, with the quality of what’s assigned.
If teachers are assigning grades right now, what they are grading is PRIVILEGE. Without the equalizing force of the school-building and its services, limited as they are, teachers are grading on access to technology, wifi, food and housing security, and ableism. 1/
