A father, MTSS evangelist, an education consultant, a writer, an English prof., and a wannabe local historian in search of ways to make students want to learn.
@MattRhoads1990 Banning policies are fine, they might even help s’s be more compliant. I’d love to know why we think that means they will learn more. I didn’t have a cellphone in hs and was an A s. I wouldn’t say I learned much.
Let’s keep focused on improving our learning environments. IMO

The ultimate purpose of education is to change an empty mind into an open one.
If you wanna be a good teacher, teach open-mindedness, teach enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, heuristics, and values.
I don't understand why the NYS T shortage is such a puzzle to administrators? 1. T's feel like they have no agency. 2. T's feel under paid. 3. Their pensions have been under attack. If that happened to admin...would they stay? #leadership#K12#Principal#schools#teacher
100% agree, but I am reminded of a recent conversation with @AngelaStockman about the need to qualify "failure" a little. Some failure is awful...and I wouldn't want that for anyone. But, our outlook on failure has a major impact on how we move through life. #Toasted#podcast
Authenticity is not about expressing every opinion you hold. It's about ensuring that what you voice reflects what you value.
If you prize respect and kindness, your comments shouldn't be filled with contempt and cruelty.
Ideas are worth sharing when they represent your ideals.
