Here’s a thought: if we’re going to hold our students accountable to a strict grading policy, shouldn’t we teach them that policy prior to enforcing it?

CSHS Guiding Coalition hard at work analyzing campus data in order to create a realistic picture of where we are as a campus in order to set our goals moving forward @ccisdlearns @ClearSpringsHS

Today I had a conversation with colleagues that gave me back that “I’m where I need to be” feeling. I’m just going to leave this here. I will be happy to discuss with anyone. #ccisdlearns #cshslearns #ccisdplc

If you truly believe all students can learn, your reasoning for students not passing a test shouldn’t be “they didn’t study” or “they’re on their phone all period”…

@mcreswell79 @SolutionTree @ccisdlearns We don’t HAVE to, we GET to! This can serve as a catalyst to change our outdated education system

When the PLC work blends with our district’s Core Values, this becomes a heavy conversation I can’t wait to have. #ccisdlearns #atplc #solutiontree

Ever been in the middle of writing a serious email to a parent or entering grades and then switch to project something to the class but they see your email/gradebook? Awkward. Avoid that situation by having your "projected stuff" on one desktop and "serious stuff" on the other.

I don't know about you but I am REALLY bad at the timing of activities. I love that it gives a countdown for students instead of you having to send out an announcement. In the words of Forest Gump: "That's just one less thang."

S's can be auditory learners and not have it specifically written in their paperwork that they need things read to them. They may never use this trick but it might make all the difference to that ONE student.

[Kelly Chase @MrsCoachChase]

Remember the days of having to write something down for a kid who's broken their writing hand, or handing them a pencil to chicken peck the keys? Not anymore! Utilize the Dictate feature in word and it types what you say!

I've been using the Snipping Tool on my device for years but I'm starting to like this hack better. Windows + Shift + S. Automatically saves whatever you snip to paste anywhere you need it.

A new feature in #GoogleChrome and #MicrosoftEdge allow you to easily create a QR code from whatever website you are currently on.

Maybe you often have to navigate to multiple programs or apps very quickly within a class period ( LMS, attendance, email, Word) or maybe you're just one of those people who has a million things open on their desktop at any given time.

Don't get played by students. Have students FORWARD you the email verification they received after submitting it (not a picture because that can be doctored). No email verification = no submission. ⁠

Similar to my last post, pressing the B key will turn your screen black and allow your students to pause and engage in class discussion without the visual stimulus of whatever is on your board. ⁠

This will give you a blank slide to either write using PowerPoint's Draw tools or write with dry erase markers on the white board (if you're projecting onto a white board).

Applications to this hack include small straight lines in a number line/timeline, boxes for checklists or content!
