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! 😍
Professional development without follow through does NOT work. Schools and classrooms are complicated ecosystems. Learning a new skill or tool is one thing. Implementing those skills and tools is a whole other beast given the unique constraints and challenges of each community.
Young adolescents crave connection and autonomy. Yet when they enter the middle grades, they are suddenly held to a rigid schedule, rotating among a cast of teachers unfamiliar with their backgrounds and learning styles. @hechingerreport@kfieldCHE https://t.co/pXbMVwM454

Using your talents is not just a matter of practicing something that you are good at, but rather the committment that comes with developing your skills w/ such conviction that it begins to impact the lives of those around you. #SEL#impact#growthmindset
#Pi celebrating #PiDay!
Happy Pi Day! Pi has a big circle on his back and on his eye. Also, underneath his hair, he has a lot of spots (#circle). So when I rescued him, naturally, I named him Pi.
Fun fact: The funny thing is that he also circles around before he 💩 poops.
Happy 1year of #distancelearning! Thankful for interactive programs like #Jamboard, #Desmos, and #Peardeck. The programs allowed me to see student’s work, check for understanding, and give feedback.
It is now teachers' turn to get vaccinated! For Pfizer to be effective 94% for symptomatic COVID-19 illness, it needs to be at least 7 days after the second dose.
