A2. New teachers must be encouraged to find their "why" and to never lose sight of it. The "why" is the go-to when when the slightest hint of burnout sets in. #ELMagChat

@ASCD Please retire: we can’t do it for that kid because it’s not fair to the other kids!
Replace with: let’s give every kid what they personally need to succeed!!

Just got caught up on what happened at the Indigenous People's March yesterday here in D.C. What a low moment for America. And in truth, this is just one event that happened to be filmed; There are many that are unfilmed...

"Fiction creates critical thinking, scholarly analysis, problems solving, and empathy that can be beneficial to non-fiction reading." This is so crucial, which is why we do 20 min. of read aloud every single day to our whole team. So important! @rickwormeli2 #PLSDedu #PLSDproud

@Jeremybballer @JonGordon11 This is why it is important for schools to maintain b teams and freshman teams rather than cut kids and leave them out forever after
