Every school that just found out about a virtual start ... you can do this but think differently, particularly about the schedule. More SEL time, more projects, more student- choice, learning defenses instead of tests. Kids will rise, but give them something humane to rise to.
My latest: After years of "find the main idea" and flatlining reading scores, schools and districts are beginning to teach reading comprehension in a way more aligned with cognitive science, emphasizing background knowledge.

Have you thought about pursuing National Board certification next year?
There are MANY reasons to make this year the year you become #NBCTStrong, including the new benefit of earning Rank II.
Virtual info sessions coming in July.
Well, itโs official...in-person school will not return this year. Iโm not surprised and I understand the necessity, but I really miss my students and the BEST part of the school year! Iโm thankful for technology that allows us to stay in touch when we canโt be together. โค๏ธ
Thanks to @BGMU for partnering with us to phase out disposable water bottles. A recent donation will add 12 water coolers and bottle filling stations to our schools. Six will be delivered and installed this month by our Maintenance Department, another six will be added in July.
Congratulations to Kristi Costellow @PBC_Elementary, Hannah Ogden @McNeillAdmirals, Kristen Henson and Jennay Weatherholt @PotterGrayPride, and Julie Lane @BGHSPurplesNews for earning National Board Certification, the most respected professional certification in K-12 ed.
