“One of the key differences was that US teachers see mixed ability as a problem, whereas far-eastern teachers see mixed ability as a gift. Individual differences are seen as beneficial for the class …”

My favorite way to wrap up the year is learning to toast to our successes and failures. Some of the most genuine and heartfelt reflections came today! 🥺💚🥂
I’m not crying, you’re crying.

If you are an ELA teacher, it’s not just about reading & writing. Speaking skills are key! 🎙️ This really helps their writing skills too!

Today, students worked on debate swag w/ their debate teams!

Gum in schools?
Disney or Pixar?

No words. I am so thankful to work alongside a principal who values EVERY child. He created an opportunity for my Ss to participate & included them during the assembly. Also setting them up for success by asking for silent cheers from the audience. PRICELESS! 😊💚@principalmesser
