DeSoto gets to make one last case for the No. 1️⃣ spot on our Power 2️⃣5️⃣ this weekend. Would a state title win be enough to edge by Bishop Gorman, Mater Dei or Chaminade-Madonna? 🤔👑

Muhammad 7 yard TD run. XP is good. Harlem leads 7-0 with 7:46 left in the first quarter. @BNHSSports

My favorite part about our job is that we’re in a position in which we control so much of the energy in the room. ⚡️ 😃

A 2018 study conducted with middle school students showed that when teachers welcome students at the door, academic engagement increased by 20% and disruptive behavior decreased by 9%. -From the book Teachers These Days. #togetherweRfife #teachertwitter #middleschool #edchat

My students made birthday cards for the Tuskegee Airman, Sgt. Victor W. Butler, who is turning 100 in a couple of days. #randomactsofkindness

This years 2022 M.A.R.C.H. Madness winner is Mr. Obama!

[Luke Tassoni @HistoryWithMr_T]

When you have kids in for lunch and they get so heated in an unsolicited debate about whether Russia’s downfall was Germany or Stalin’s fault that they stand up and ask me to fact check their arguments. This is a social studies teacher’s dream!

[Luke Tassoni @HistoryWithMr_T]

@MrSEdu815 All valid points that the seeding committee will take into consideration for next year. 😂 I’ll admit it was a bit of a stretch… but you don’t consider this man a political figure in our history?

[Luke Tassoni @HistoryWithMr_T]

And M.A.R.C.H. Madness (Most Accomplished & Revered Citizen in History) is back in the classroom!

Our “Selection Monday” went great! The reigning champion Frederick Douglass is looking to repeat after a long COVID delay!

Empower them to take some kind of ownership in your classroom and make it feel more like “Theirs”!

Successful Transition Defense requires a team to STOP! 🤔 🤔 🤔

@coachbgreenH There’s 💯 a win in every scenario based on how they handle the success or respond to failure. I meant that the final score can’t be all that connects/drives a coach & players. They’ve got to trust you enough to see the value in those loses & learn from them rather than sulk.

[Luke Tassoni @HistoryWithMr_T]

TOTD: Winning cannot be the sole connection between a coach, a player, and a teammate.

“Winning” becomes inconsistent at times & failure will destroy the culture if there isn’t rapport outside of the game. Coach them hard, but love them harder!
