Superb district-wide 5th grade GATE event this morning at Bradoaks! Big thanks to MHS teacher Kristin Ford and her wonderful students for supporting this learning activity. Thanks also to principals Michele Costarella and @NicklesJayne as well as Patrick Garcia for supporting.
Remember. A class culture WILL form via distance education. As teachers, we get to help shape it to be a positive, inclusive, equitable place to be. If we don’t actively shape it, it will take a shape on its own.
Teachers — you know you make a difference for kids... but never forget the difference you make for the adults. Your support, your collaboration, and your energy... it all matters! You make your school a better place to work for your colleagues.
Teaching manifesto:
1. Be fun and funny, smile and laugh
2. Create experiences, not activities
3. Be visibly invisible. It’s about them, not you
4. Treat every lesson as if you only get one chance
5. Give sincere feedback, not tests or grades
