“Controversial” things I did in my classroom this year that worked:
-I let students retake any quiz/test on which they scored less than 80%.
-I offered one extra-credit HW assignment each week.
-I stuck to a late-work policy.
-I didn’t write any office referrals.

I'm halfway through the @Quizizz Game Changer Certification and learning so much! I had no idea that I could spin a wheel to select student responders using Quizizz! 🎉 💜 https://t.co/IqQwr72NAH #edtech #youcanwithquizizz @kyleniemis

@jandersonburgos @OccupyDemocrats We pull a diploma, and the student gets it after meeting with the principal. I agree that kids shouldn’t be punished for what their families do, but I disagree with letting kids dance across the stage for the reasons I already mentioned. And they were warned beforehand.

It’s true that I’ve had a rough year, but this group reminded me of why I love teaching! I’m proud that they��re moving on to bigger and better things, but I’m going to miss them so much!

"Because concepts of race, culture, and identity are complex and deeply personal, they often bring feelings of discomfort," says educator @sheldoneakins. "Whether we address them in class or not, our students are thinking and talking about these issues." https://t.co/7xzhquBEtU

White women: please keep this “I want to speak to the manager energy” about the police. You were told by AppleCare that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness applied to all people, and no, you would not like to be placed on hold.

I've said this before, but for all the people who believe you definitely would have been abolitionists in the era of slavery, who you are today is who you would have been then. You don't need to imagine scenarios of living in the 19th century, there's work to do here and now.

@chaeIerose I promise it won’t make a difference!

@Jacobacooper It’s easy to be a good teacher when I have such awesome students! ❤️ Thank you, Jacob!
