So true

[David Rockower @dgrock]

Please don’t prepare my 9th grader for 10th grade. Don’t prepare my 10th grader for 11th grade. Meet them where they are now. Recognize their strengths, foster a connection...they will do the rest.

[Mark Pederson @MarkPedersonHS]

@mrsccastaneda So true. They would help our HS understand the writing assignment and expectations so much better.

Student Annotations on #GDocs using Comments to summarize, underling main ideas and define unfamilar words as a whole class. @GoogleForEdu

[Mark Pederson @MarkPedersonHS]

@GJPetersTDSB @courosa Can’t replace in person, however @edpuzzle embedded questions or a google form with a formative assesment might help to guide instruction

Could not have a better quote for our transition to distance learning. “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak”. Hans Hofmann. Hope we are all thinking about SEL, streamlined lessons and simplified instruction delivery to Ss.

Daughter wants a blue birthday cake and her friends to play in our house next week. Heartbreaking explaining everything to her and trying our best to celebrate Her 3rd birthday while keeping everyone save. #COVID19 #SocialDistancing #birthdayquarantine

@mrwjdavis Thank you for hosting the @zoom_us meeting today and modeling it for our staff

[Mark Pederson @MarkPedersonHS]

@CrazyPln As a SPED Ter, I think keeping a simple and predictable schedule for online learning will really help our Ss with disabilities. Also embedding recorded Zoom instructions, lectures etc will really help

The at-home AP Exams this year will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home. They will measure skills that can't be learned from Google or chats with friends. By April 3, we will post the specifics for each exam.

Perfect Tool for Individualizing Instruction for our Ss with disabilities #SPEDChat #SpEd

Make #googleClassroom assignment.
UNCHECK some names
Reuse the post
Check the names you removed
Adjust the directions

Now everyone's Classroom looks identical but there is differentiation.

Don’t ask school leaders and teachers if they are happy to “have time off”. No, we are not happy and our hearts ache for our students. We want to be at school. We want to see our kids. We want to meet their needs. We want our normal back. #COVIDー19 #PrincipalLife #BetterTogether
