"Meet students where they are" always, always, always seems to mean "make things easier"
How about instead we set high standards and raise students to them?
Hi teachers & friends! To celebrate the upcoming release of my 25th book, I am giving away 2500 copies of I Survived the Dust Bowl over the next 10 days.
Today: 10 class sets of 25. To enter, like this post & retweet. Winners announced tomorrow am. ❤️
Schools spend so much time talking about tier 2 & tier 3 interventions. The things we do for some kids, sometimes.
We can nullify the need for so many of these conversations if we’d just dial in to great tier 1 instruction. What are we doing for all kids, all the time? #edchat
A final gift from @Dan_Boynton1 Passed out to everyone who attended his celebration of life today. The greatest example of a Servant Leader I have ever been around.
This time of year is usually when fatigue sets in and this year its been set in. So, be kind, patient, and supportive of staff, colleagues, and admin because you never know what others may be going through and many are going through something.
For many teachers, answering emails and troubleshooting tech problems late at night is slowly becoming the norm, and it’s destroying any semblance of work-life balance, experts warn in a new study.

@Mr_Roberts3423 and I are excited to implement restorative circles in our classes this year! Thanks @Scott_Adreon for the summer PD! This excerpt from NEA Today confirms the need for circles in fostering a sense of belonging in our classrooms.
These times have stifled our opportunities to celebrate, but tonight we had the chance to honor @DunlapAthletics AD @katie_cazalet for her 2020 IADA Athletic Director of the year award! She leads with integrity and her service first spirit make her 1 of the best in the biz! 💯🥇
When you only listen to the smartest person in the room, you miss out on discovering what the rest of the room is smart about.
Everyone you meet knows something you don’t—and has wisdom from experiences you haven’t lived.
Every conversation is a chance to learn something new.
Tonight the district recognized Mr. Roe, along with others, for their service to Dunlap CUSD. We thank Mr. Roe for his dedication to the students that he’s impacted during his time at Pioneer Jr. High & DMS. Congrats, Mr. Roe and we wish you a happy retirement! #DMSPantherPride
