I am not a cheerleader for education.
I will play lots of roles (counselor, coach, “parent,” listener, advocate, etc.) for the young humans in my room, but I won’t play cheerleader for education.
Oh, that’s not to say that their learning isn’t important.
It is to say that it’s absurd that I have to shake my pompoms for a team (education) that is losing at halftime with no game plan for the future.
We can do better.

@supershuttle Would you care to acknowledge why I have not received any kind of response for a refund after being left stranded at a hotel at 4 am with no ride to the airport?
@SuperShuttle I’m not a person that calls out companies on a public forum but since after three phone calls and an online request for resolution have gotten me no response, maybe this is the way to go.
What have I learned from 28 years of staff meetings?
Poor listening’s a human thing, not a kid thing.
And if we ourselves don’t walk the walk, let’s be mindful of the talk we talk when we get frustrated with our still-developing humans who struggle with listening.
Differentiation of content, process, and product alter what kids get, do, and/or create. READ ON for differentiation examples and ideas👇👇👇

Just a reminder.
Who is doing the heavy lifting of learning in the room?
Let's design learning in daily Tier 1 that turns it back over to whom it belongs.
When looking at your next step, it's not about taking your classroom and totally transforming it overnight.
It's acknowledging how one thing you're doing is excluding some learners. And then minimizing that by providing a different pathway for your students say, tomorrow.

In many schools, kids have little autonomy. They don’t choose what they learn, how they learn, how they show they've learned, or the pace they learn.
Learning to set & meet goals, while acting with autonomy are keys for successful adult life.
