@jennthetutor My students have always latched onto the "debt" model:
+ (-5) means you've just taken on $5 of debt, so it's equivalent to -$5
- (-5) means you've just been relieved of $5 of debt, so it's equivalent to +$5
Relevant visual is the "counters model" here: https://t.co/eqEAbPhx9p
Normalize rest. Normalize restoration. Normalize putting the papers away and not grading all weekend. You can be a great teacher and choose not to work all weekend.
@willrich45 I love that idea! Unfortunately those who are regulating public education want us to “play school” despite any and all of the things going on this year. Very specific requirements as to what constitutes a “day.” It’s a traditionalist approach to 21 century problem.
Teachers ... Did you make a Bitmoji classroom. Thank you.
I did not make one. Don't feel guilty if you didn't either. Thanks for caring about your students and for the way you do that.
Walk into my son's room.. taking his summer school online final. He hides his phone. No kidding he is googling the test answers. As we move remote we can't assess the same ways. They WILL Google it!!!
Today would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. A medical worker on the frontline, she wanted to become a nurse. She was shot by police eight times in her home. They had the wrong address. No one has been charged. You can support her family here. https://t.co/4pNPtmWg6Y
@alicekeeler There needs to be serious change. Remote learning and the freeze on standardized tests is on opportunity to change. When we do go back school needs to be different!
The more I have conversations with teachers about grading, the more I realize that grades are worthless, especially now. A student earning a B going into DL and doing nothing compared to a student earning a C and working to a B by the end are 2 completely different B grades.

Do your students help you make your sub plans?
Just saw that @KVoge71 and @HeRhymesWithMe collaborated with their students to make sub plans. Super cool. 😎
If so, what's it look like? What do you do? #ditchbook#tlap#edchat#edtech
when we ask a question and take an answer from the first person who raises their hand... we mistakenly give the impression that it is about speed. @joboaler#youcubed
