I love the districts who are putting teachers first. They are not micromanaging them. Trusting them to reach out to their students & letting them take care of their own families first & checking in on their health. These districts rock & your teachers love you for it & so do I!
@web20classroom So important to focus on kids first and content second right now. Connect with your Ss to make sure they are okay, instead of focussing on making sure they are submitting assignments or doing enrichment activities. #edchat#6thchat#engchat#mybedford#QuarentineLife
I wonder how many school districts that have cut their librarians/media specialists the past few years wish they had them back to assist with access and resources right now.
Just reread this post and I so wish more leaders were of this mindset. "Compliance does not foster innovation. In fact, demanding conformity does quite the opposite" - George Couros #6thchat#engchat
When I hire new teachers, I’m not hiring them to get in line; I’m hiring them to form a new line. I’m hiring them because I want their opinion. That attracts and retains the best people. @ToddWhitaker#NEEConference
Our @Flipgrid GridPal class lives in California. I gave my students 60 mins to research & present. It consolidated geographical language we have been learning throughout the term. Using #Keynote my student made this next level epic presentation. Can’t wait to share it on @Seesaw
