A funny thing happened in my classroom this morning. So honored to be a part of such a wonderful campus, community, and culture. LOVE being an Eagle. @EdLeadBagheri @Choat311 @RHS_Spotlight @RichardsonISS #WeAreONE #GoPurpleGoGold #RISD

The kiddos excitement was everything! Thank you, @BenJPrior for designing collaborative projects that gets students energized to participate, engage, and learn. We are so glad you are @RichardsonHS1 #RISDBeTheOne #WeAreRichardson #Winning

The majority of our present problems can be traced to a willful disregard for history.

We discuss engagement vs compliance a lot at @JJPearceHS. When we combine 3 classes in our new commons for a little healthy competition between classes (@AbbyG_PHS @BenJPrior and Ms. Broad) & @TishHearne1 engages her students in an active lab, we are working towards engagement.

If you haven’t been on a Close Up trip with me yet, make sure you get signed up for next year! This is a trip unlike any other. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post. @CloseUp_DC @JJPearceHS #risdbelieves

[Benjamin Prior, Ph.D @BenJPrior]

If you could take a few moments and help out, it would be greatly appreciated for the students that want to go on this trip, but aren’t able to.

Giving students a chance to fully interact with the past is one of the best parts of teaching history. @IamBranum @TheCBreedlove @MrLopezRISD @Rod_Beas @AnneMarieYarb @BenJPrior @AbbyG_PHS #risdbelieves #buildmUStangs #ushistory
