@cmclymer I read Sarah McBride’s memoir “Tomorrow Will Be Different” in 2019 and it really made me understand who President Biden is as both a politician and a person. Highly recommend!!

How can you keep track of every student's strengths and needs to inform your curriculum planning? @JorgeDoesPBL suggests trying a simple visual tool called an empathy map!

You know it’s going to be a great year when you get this level of outfit coordination on day 1! #frostjoy #onefrost #FirstDayFairfax

Just before the period ends, you may wonder: Do my students really understand what we covered? Do they remember where we started, and what we just discussed? 🤔

You *can* finish each class as strongly as you started it. Try optimistic closures, which allow students to connect, reflect, and look forward as you wrap for the day. 💫

If you know @pakownacki you know he sits on an exercise ball instead of an office chair…. Well, it’s a sad day @SouthCountyMS… the 10 year old office chair ball is done... #riptotheball

Loving this interview about middle schoolers & social conflict: "If we want a more harmonious school environment where middle schoolers feel that sense of belonging they need, we need to give them skills to interact with one another in healthy ways..."

Region 5 is incredibly proud to announce that YuJeong Julia Shin, Mathematics Teacher @FrostMSVA, has been named the Region 5 Outstanding New Secondary Teacher! #region5proud

I love this so much. It’s hard to put into words what growing up tall was like when as an adult my height is considered an asset. https://t.co/HW2i2ccRta
