I became a teacher to be part of students’ life journeys! Simply hoping to inspire, encourage, support them as they grow into the best version of who they are and who they will become. #LoudounLearns
Look at the coronavirus protocols for pro athletes (tests every other day, temperature checks twice a day, group quarantining).
Then look at the protocols for schools (handwashing, stay home if you’re sick).
Imagine if we valued the lives of teachers the same as MLB shortstops.
I love watching students create new things with their writing that's more than an essay. They give me so many new ideas, and they teach me how to survive and thrive with technology! #BOWTIE
@DrMaryHoward Super helpful. Ours IS a model of reading and writing workshop; however, it is so scripted and lengthy that it takes away from all of the unique ways we teach. Students get so much more out of working with a variety of methods than a scripted montage of blech.
Stop trusting scripted boxes to do the work ONLY knowledgeable educators who know kids AND literacy can do. Spend your money on BOOKS and ongoing learning that builds Tch agency & respects professional decision making over quick fixes leading to compliant complacency. #G2Great
