School Counselor, mother, speaker, leadership advisor and former teacher. I have been in education for 11 years and love helping kids make their lives better.
Students come to the classroom with a lot to offer. This article from @WeAreTeachers outlines how #SEL can support educators in lifting student voice and creating inclusive environments for learning: https://t.co/LacblzBxM2
No child/parent should go a whole yr w/o hearing kind words from the school. Iโd printout โTo the Parents ofโ labels for every child, then lay out postcards and label sheets and have teachers fill out 5 at every meeting and send them home. By EOY those sheets were empty.

Every time I assign something and a student asks
"Is this for a grade?"
At first I get kind of annoyed. And then I remember that WE did this to them. It's not their fault--they've adapted to our broken system of carrots & sticks
Virtual school should not mimic school held in-person. They certainly can be similar, but they are not the same. 7 hours in front of a screen is not learning, itโs punishment.
.@HilliardSchools students will begin classes Aug. 24 instead of Aug. 20 and all students wonโt be in classes together unless Franklin County downgrades to a Level 1, according to a back-to-school plan board members OKโd tonight. https://t.co/BwvTAAjDDm
