Our students need more recess, unstructured play, Physical Education, all the Arts, and extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

I'm watching an old interview with Conan O'Brien and he says he has 14 writers. So it takes fifteen people to create an hour of original content every night.
Every teacher you know creates six hours of content every day alone.

Did you know that #GoogleDocs has a built-in citation feature? This can be a GAME CHANGER for student research papers! Here’s a resource I made that breaks down the process. #GoogleEdu #highered #EdTech #AcademicTwitter #edutwitter #edchat #GSuiteEdu

Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave

"It is hard 'human work' not to react. Such toil takes tools."

Meeting kids where they are includes how we respond (not react) when we engage their behaviors.

My wife's and my evolving idea of using "Response Cards" with our students this year.

Detailed blog post tomorrow!

A healing-centered approach to addressing trauma requires a shift from asking a person, "What happened to you?" and instead asks, "What's right with you?"

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?

There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic

[Monte Syrie @MonteSyrie]

When I made the leap from a grading-centered classroom to a learning-centered classroom, I had to change much, including my beliefs (and kids' and parents' beliefs) about learning.

Still wondering about and wandering along this path.

With grades gone, how would I go on?

Google Classroom users make a copy of https://t.co/c2AS4VV7ky to get lists of all your old assignments from multiple previous classes. Easy to reuse more than one at a time.

You have to choose. Either you want to judge people or support them. You can’t effectively do both.

Schools really have the potential to be the heart of a community and I love that.
