Lots of kids come to school with their invisible backpacks, weighted with struggles.

Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, lack of physical needs, loneliness, anger, sadness, & hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen.

Notice & love them instead.

📊 Percentage #grades FEEL objective because they involve math. But a percentage doesn't communicate learning well and is no more objective than a teacher's judgment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

If Republican policies are so great...why are Republican-led states the poorest, least educated, with the lowest-paying jobs, and have the most people on public assistance programs? And did I mention that Republican administrations oversaw 9 of the last 10 recessions?

Growth mindset is often reduced to effort, but effort alone is not the goal.

Students grow when they learn to change strategies, examine mistakes, use feedback, break challenges into manageable steps, and notice evidence of their own progress.

The most effective classroom language does not simply encourage students to continue. It helps them understand how to move forward.

If you have served in public education for 20 years or more, this post is for you.
You are part of the roughly 28% who entered public-school teaching and were still in the profession two decades later.
So for the veteran teachers and staff who have served for 20 years, 25 years, 30 years, and beyond, this is to celebrate you!
You have endured some of the most difficult changes education has ever faced.
You witnessed standardized testing grow into an overwhelming system of high-stakes pressure, excessive data collection, and constant documentation.
You adapted to new standards, new technology, new programs, and an endless cycle of initiatives.
You carried students and families through COVID, even while facing your own fears, losses, and uncertainty.
You have watched respect for educators decline while expectations continued to rise.
You have been asked to do more with less, solve problems you did not create, and meet needs that extend far beyond the classroom.
And yet, you continued to show up.
You taught the lesson again.
You encouraged the struggling student.
You supported the overwhelmed colleague.
You welcomed the nervous parent.
You kept schools functioning during some of the toughest years education has ever experienced.
Most people will never fully understand what it takes to dedicate decades of your life to serving students, families, and communities. They will never know how many evenings, weekends, personal dollars, and pieces of your heart you have invested.
There are adults walking through the world today who are stronger, wiser, and more confident because you once believed in them.
To every teacher and staff member who has served for 20 years or more:
Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your wisdom.
Thank you for caring for our children.
Thank you!

Here's what happens when unaccountable "microschools" pop up out of nowhere to hoover up Gov. Sanders' school vouchers subsidies: Fight clubs & students scrubbing floors. This one was literally out in the woods.
