@JoeBiden If he’s a cheerleader, he’s a slutty one who didn’t learn the routines, cheated his way through school, and only tried out to show off and prove he’s “popular.”

@Jeremybballer If only we had consistent PD that actually made me feel like I WAS learning something. Sadly it has been sparse at best and the wasted time has made me dread most PD sessions. When the PD is thought-provoking and applicable I’m all over it.

50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and I launched into space on a mission of enormous importance. God bless the 400,000 Americans who helped us get to the moon and back. Together, we Americans can do anything! Never forget July 16, 1969! #Apollo50

About time... middle-level students aren’t big elementary kids or young high school kids ... they are unique and need to be treated that way :)

Today @SenWhitehouse and @RepRaulGrijalva reintroduced the Success in the Middle Act. The Act allows for significant investment in middle level education, helping schools identify and implement best practices and improve student outcomes.

Weird, ’cause all my happy memories from schooling were tied to various homework assignments. In fact, in my graduation speech, I credited homework...for absolutely nothing at all. Amen to this post:

How do we make sure every student has an adult at school who knows them and advocates for them? Here's how silent mentoring can work to create connections with students who risk slipping through the cracks. https://t.co/NivZMouqkt @KatieNovakUDL

@kjsain @BVSDEdTech @BVSDInnovation @BVSDcolorado @todd_burleson I love letting students figure out their own best way to show that they read and understood a novel. Could be a video, a website, a speech, a song, a poem, a game, an annotated map...

@MsJachymiak Don’t pretend that know everything. Your students will respect you if you share both your expertise and your vulnerabilities.

[Mrs. Fransen @TeacherFransen]

@FlagstaffLmc @BVSDEdTech I agree with time being an obstacle. Part of that is that students need to feel safe and comfortable before they can unleash their creativity— and that takes purposeful planning and time.

[Mrs. Fransen @TeacherFransen]

@BVSDEdTech @BVSDInnovation @BVSDcolorado @todd_burleson I think great things come from collaboration. That said, building relationships that foster thoughtful collaboration takes TIME. One or two meetings with people I’ve never met might be sharing, but it’s not collaboration.

Highlighting and rereading text are some of the least effective study techniques, according to research. Students should try these approaches instead → https://t.co/nXeTgwIBPT
