@mjahayes Remember when you shared the TED talk with Rita Pierson? That year I told my students they were hand picked to be in my class. One little girl went home and said, “Mom, I didn’t pick Mrs. Muñoz. Mrs. Muñoz picked ME!” ❤️
It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay. We hope non-Indigenous educators will reflect on how to honor Indigenous voices and strive to "see the heart of these stories—and recognize and set aside their internalized misconceptions about Native life, people, and nations."

@DoDEA provides Level 4 Services for students with advanced learning needs. The consequences for schools continuing to enforce same-age placements far outweigh the perceived consequences of placements that honor a child’s cognitive needs. https://t.co/ewLN3BOTux
@Educationoflife Look up Karin Hess and her cognitive rigor matrices. The math-science one may give you some ideas for increasing the rigor of the learning tasks.
That moment when something you worked so hard on finally makes its way mainstream!! Props to the #AES third grade team for embracing the Unit 2 #compactor for ALL of your math students! #DoDEA_AAPS
#DoDEA_AAPS teachers from around the world have been divided into curriculum development teams to create advanced academic units for all content areas in grades K-5. My team finished our first literacy/ss unit today. So exciting to see it in use! #USA#dok@googlejamboard
You're not grading assignments.
You're collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing them towards their next steps.
Make the mental switch. It matters.
