Experiencing the parent-side of online learning. It’s 9:30am, and all 3 of my kids have required parent support. Has me thinking about kids without support right now. Educators, above all else, please show grace, patience and flexibility during this time.
History teachers, from high school to college: Worthwhile things to do in the history classroom, Episode #1.
Assessment. I know, it’s dreaded word. Bad reputation well-deserved. 1/14
Now is not the time for rigor.
Now is not the time for lengthy assignments.
Now is not the time for a lot of new technology.
Now is the time for small doses of meaningful work.
Now is the time for access and availability to students.
Now is the time for compassion.
In this time of digital learning I encourage my fellow Ts to be reminded that our families are all dealing with different obstacles right now... some have easy access, some it's a struggle, and some are dealing with life priorities that push learning down the list. #giveGRACE
This is not the time to raise our academic expectations. Many homes are filled with fear, anxiety, and stress right now. As educators, let’s encourage connections, relationships, and experiences over new content, worksheets, and due dates.
The district served 1,872 meals in more than 900 bags handed out today for Lunch to Go!
