No one should care how a kindergartener compares on a standardized test with kindergarteners around the country. They should care if the child feels cared for, valued, successful, and actually enjoys coming to school to learn.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

It’s sheer insanity to expect teachers to implement both differentiated learning and standardized testing. We must choose one or the other; you can’t effectively support diverse learners while enforcing a one-size-fits-all assessment system.

Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

School should be a place where:

Kids want to go
Staff want to go
Families are proud to send their kids
