Learning shouldn’t be a distraction from what’s going on but be part of what’s going on. Make sure any assignment is relevant. Let students fully experience this moment in history. America has shut down for the first time in history. Students are living a historical moment.
One of the worst things we can do for a child is lower our expectations because we feel bad or sorry for them.
Instead, have high expectations for them and give them the additional supports and scaffolds needed to get there. High expectations are needed for ALL. #teachergoals
If a kid needs help with a math skill, we help them with that math skill.
If a kid needs help with their organizational skills, shouldn't we help them with organizational skills?
Many soft skills & emotional intelligence deficiencies inhibit access to academics.

Lots of kids have some really good reasons to have a bad attitude. But we expect them to have a good one every day. We should never have higher expectations of the kids than we have of ourselves.
Since students will often ask how what they're learning is relevant to their lives, it's good to have an answer ready. @AnnaTempus https://t.co/Z2dTCmWJHB
