Spent the morning making some charts of all my learning this week! Can't wait to share with WG teachers. #wgbuzz #BetterTogether

Back to work after an unconventional (to be sure!) Spring Break. Great to get back together with our #clarkeagles family!

"...the process (of school), which happens over a 13 year period for most students, should be more important than the product." https://t.co/fOwgaK20u6

When you ask a #student to do something & they say, ‘no.’

Blatant defiance?

Or...

Uncertainty of what’s being asked of them, embarrassment b/c they know they can’t, confusion b/c they weren’t paying attention, or fishing for a fight/reaction?

How will you respond to find out?

Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

Spending some time @ClarksPrincipal this week. I have enjoyed participating in phonics lessons, read aloud, and minilessons. #wgbuzz

Celebrate today. Every breath is a big deal.

When you look at your class lists this year, read each child’s name as an opportunity. Every child is someone’s whole world.

Words of wisdom for the new year from one of the greats. #wgbuzz

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Some believe when we give #students second chances for things like missed work, not being prepared, or not arriving on time, we are enabling them.

I’d argue we are showing them compassion, #kindness & understanding are quite acceptable responses in #life.

[Dr. Brad Gustafson @GustafsonBrad]

I asked some students to share what matters most, and here’s their “Big 3” priorities at school:

1. Helping ensure they have friends.
2. Opportunities to be creative.
3. Challenging work that’s more than review (and in alignment with their long-term goals).
