Thank you to @DrJhodge1906 for his inspiring presentation to the @GlennsSchools and Garden Valley school teachers today. It was a long, but rewarding day in the high country learning about the importance of student connections. #PBIS #SAME

[Dr. Jerry L. Oates @DrJLOates]

Every educator should ask these questions at the start of every school year. @gcouros @brunscoschools

Tragically sad, but true.

Recently asked by my seat mate on plane flying back home, “Why aren’t teachers teaching cursive anymore.” I replied, “We needed time to practice active shooter drills.” His reply was “Oh.”

I'm gearing up to help teachers with a high school reading intervention program. We're trying to think outside the box, including a focus on interpretive complexity (what readers do with a text) rather than textual complexity

Tragically true on so many levels. “We watch and feel the horror, the unbelievable act, for a day...for a week...Something about it will make sense. The bullets have been coming from miles. Years. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable” #Prophetic #MustRead

"If it was your son
you would fill the sea with ships all by the millions
acting as a bridge
to get it through.
But don't worry,
He's just a child of lost humanity,
of dirty humanity, which makes no noise.
He is not your son.
Sleep peacefully,
it's not yours"

As a lover of literature, I find this heartbreaking.
