@UPS Info sent. I’ve talked to multiple people and spent literal hours on the phone over the last 2 months. Each person said it was fixed- one even had me give directions and a description of my house for your system but here we are again. Fingers crossed this is the time it works!

[Nicki Morrison @Nickimorrison27]

@UPS it’s been over 2 months & you still can’t get packages to my house!!! Everyone else has easily delivered since day 1. You mis-deliver or automatically return to sender. We are on package 9 of your incompetence. And your customer service line is a joke. What a waste of time!

[Nicki Morrison @Nickimorrison27]

@Texans4E @GregAbbott_TX Of course he’d rather wait!

How brave they were.

On September 4, 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus ordered state National Guard troops to surround Little Rock's Central High School to prevent nine African American students from enrolling. #ThisDayInHistory

@MiKendrasmith @HookKerri @Maire_from_NJ Do you have the technology available to create a learning space for everyone online? You can definitely be engaged and engagING in learning like that. There are lots of options with zoom, Flipgird, etc. etc. But having kids just watch a class is not the best idea for sure.

@SolutionTree Great way to lead discussion over CFA!

Team developed common formative assessments are powerful, but their power lies in how they are used. After reviewing the results of an assessment, dig deeper with the following data analysis protocol. #atPLC #Assessment https://t.co/8V8J9cOzYt

So cool!!!

This is one of my favorite green screen projects! 4th graders used the green screen magic to report from inside their dioramas. They researched, rehearsed, built the diorama, filmed in the green studio & edited their videos using @DoInkTweets. #gslearning @gr8ful2teach

Powerful words.

Can we please stop saying “data-driven”? We should be student driven. We should be future driven. We can be data-informed, but our students should always drive our decision making.

Have a student you're struggling with?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in.

Wonderful idea by Raymond Wlodkowski

[Rachel Jones @rachelbenzjones]

It’s deceptive when As are so overrepresented in affluent communities. Besides issues with what the test really measures, college readiness “points” cost money from someplace- AP exams, SAT/ACT, certification tests, college courses... Schools are not failing. Politics are. #txed

(1/2)Teachers and administrators within a PLC are expected to become learners themselves, using research from the field and from within their own schools and classrooms to inform and adjust curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Educators you want a gut punch at 10:25 on a summer morning? Think about THIS statement.

Not having engaging instruction and high levels of rigor in your classroom is basically a warm hug welcoming children into illiteracy.
Mhmm. Mhmm. MHMMMMM.
GUT. PUNCH. 🥊 #atPLC #RISDplc

[Rachel Jones @rachelbenzjones]

Adult ��real world” judgements of success EXCLUDE first failed attempts. But for students, if all eventually master the material, some still get failing grades because first attempts are INCLUDED in our judgment of their success. That’s not real. What’s your answer to it? #AtPLC

[Robert J. Marzano @robertjmarzano]

By asking students to track their progress over time, teachers are encouraging them to see assessments not as isolated tests that can permanently influence their overall grade but as connected measurements of their learning and progress over time. #studentengagement
