We know true collaboration happened when the idea can no longer be traced to one person.

The truth is that we’re going to continue to wrestle with uncertainty, and no one can promise that everything is going to be okay. Thank you ⁦⁦@Pfagell⁩ How parents can help themselves, and their children, feel okay again https://t.co/1I6vrDOtWr

This week at the White House, we celebrated the incredible achievements, sacrifices, and talents of teachers from across the country. To the 2020 and 2021 Teachers of the Year – and to all teachers: thank you for everything you do.

Great question, @cultofpedagogy!

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

Would like your thoughts on this question: How will your instruction be different when you are able to teach completely face-to-face with full capacity classes? In other words, once we no longer have any pandemic-related restrictions? What have been your take-aways from all this?

"At the end of the day, engaging online lessons still come down to the learning experiences that teachers design. Remember, technology doesn’t engage students. Teachers do."

@calpunzel @calpunzel, Please send their recommendations my way!

[Courteney Simchak @CourtSimchak]

"Advice, evaluation, grades—none of these provide the descriptive information that students need to reach their goals. What is true feedback—and how can it improve learning?"

Thank you for these timely reminders @grantwiggins.
