@joboaler It is my opinion that schools are paying for less pd and we, the teachers are being expected to become experts in things without the proper training.

I will start year 33/34 as a full-time classroom teacher next week.

Late summer and the start of school always make me reflect on my many years of teaching and this year is no different. I've been thinking a lot about what I've learned from all the classes, students, lessons, PDs, and the mindless minutia of education in America. I've had this list for about 3 years, it's changed and grown. Here's the latest iteration of "What I've Learned from Teaching Teens."

1. Never lie to the kids. Someone once told me that kids can smell BS a mile away, and it’s true. Tell the truth.

2. Build a culture of learning, be eager to teach new things. It’s infectious. Kids gravitate to the authentic.

3. Learn kids' names and then use them often.

4. Learn to say kids' names the way their parents do unless the student prefers another.

5. Number your assignments in the assignment names for the entire year. You’ll thank me later for this one.

6. Kids will surprise you if you pay attention. They’re sorta amazing.

7. They are kids and do shit kids do. It’s not personal, so don’t take it that way.

8. If the kids get curious about something, then follow that curiosity. It’s where the most effective learning happens.

9. Let them think they are pulling you off task and they will be curious all the time.

10. Don’t fart in class

My colleagues are doing something very cool. They've designed a system to implement screening assessments for all students who start at our school so those who need extra support get it as soon as possible. 1/5
