@MarkieMartin At my school we still do snacks/mints before testing, though the A/C is controlled by our central office so it doesn't change. I know teachers that would if they could though. Some things never change #OklaEd
@wormdannnn @MarkieMartin We don't have to change the clocks anymore thanks to new regulations. That backwards clock was super weird. Made it feel like the longest day ever.

“And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming wild things.”
― Maurice Sendak (born on this day in 1928)
@cvian87 Absolutely! A student can have above average intelligence, but still struggle academically due to things like AD/HD, sensory issues, medical needs, etc. Whole student picture is important as they can be capable of the work but still may need accommodations to be successful.
I tell my teachers frequently that if a child is acting out in their classroom it is because they feel safe enough to let their emotions out. Children need safe adults who can help them navigate their feelings not bottle them up. https://t.co/Vd8C0Wi7ba
"A hurtful child is a hurt-filled child. Trying to change her behavior with punishment is like trying to pull off only the top part of the weed. If we don’t get to the root, the hurtful behavior pops up elsewhere." #TraumaInformedPractices#ACEs https://t.co/Ra7k612YIG
I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.
'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
