What if every week started by asking students to complete a short Health & Wellness survey?
~5 questions w/ one open-ended Q. "Is there anything you wish I knew?"
Could help in the moment as well as give a sense of long-term trends for an individual as well as the whole class.

#VTCTE programs thinking about PBL for next year? Check out Clifton Long's student projects from @CVCC_VT. #VTVLC content + PBL projects can keep students engaged while away from the lab due to #RemoteLearning. Think outside the box and make learning meaningful for your students.
Day 2 of EMC2 training for #vted @VermontMath educators. Looks a little different than last year, but great sharing, collaborating and learning @VSAC@VTEducation@VSC_edu@Dr_Long

Today I proclaimed #JuneteenthDay in VT. We must do more as a nation – in our communities, in our schools and in our homes – to teach the significance of Juneteenth and recommit to the work of finally achieving equal rights, equal opportunity and equal justice for all Americans.
Working on Recognition Night “stuff” for tomorrow.
Plus, modeling a bit of Career Development on the sly.
“Thank You!” cards, pre-addressed & stamped envelopes, and suggested little notes of thanks.
