Day two of in-person summer school. The students and staff are doing a great job with the new guidelines. It’s so exciting to have some students back!

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

Hearts for Hope! We are all in this together!

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

@CoachTonyGannon I thought you were retired?

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

Four-Dimensional Education. How do we prepare our students for jobs that will still exist when graduate? #KairosMA

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

Excited to be part of #KairosMA! Can’t wait to get started:

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

I had a blast playing in this, and the students we faced were awesome!

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

I don’t know if that’s accurate, but it’s hilarious. BTW- What’s a pirates favorite letter.... RRRR!

Hey @burgessdave here’s an early #PiDay meme for you...we do lots of Pi ratey things in Geometry 😜

@nbartley6 @MeghanASheridan Thank you! This was my first chat. Great job!

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

A4. I just try to always improve. We need to do the best for our students. No matter how good you are, you can always get better. I just want to create a culture where everyone wants to truly improve and be the best for kids #KidsDeserveIt

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

A3. As a superintendent, I miss that direct connection to the students. But I strive to create those opportunities for students to engage, create, and find themselves. #KidsDeserveIt

@burgessdave @nbartley6 @dbc_inc @BethHouf @burgess_shelley @MeghanASheridan introduced me to you and we ran with it this year. Thanks for energizing us and focusing our work. I may be in touch for a video shout out for next year 🙂

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

As I reflect on my classroom days, I think that most students would remember the personal connections we made, not the math lessons. I wish I knew then what I know now, I could have tried to connect those better. #KidsDeserveIt

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

It’s amazing how many responses are about “being there”. Students need to know you care. Being there is a great start. #KidsDeserveIt

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

A1. As a superintendent with young kids and a high school background, I think that I am able to get involved first hand to support school events and activities at all levels. Being there is huge. #KidsDeserveIt

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

Steve Meyer, superintendent. #KidsDeserveIt

#CPSLearns01510 - Let’s use the recent college scandals coming to light as a reminder of the limitations of homework. Let’s make sure we are working to SEE/HEAR students demonstrate mastery, not just relying on a paper that anyone could do. https://t.co/9p177Jgtcp

Be the change you want to see in the world... #CPSLearns01510

Some Teachers accept things they cannot change. The Best Teachers Change the things they cannot accept!

Middle School schedules are fascinating. You want to construct one to support learning, but they all seem to have some awkward block of time that only exists to support a mixed grade band/chorus ensemble. If you have a great a middle school schedule please share!

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

The age old question... what in the world does an 85 mean on a report card? Do you know a lot and you are bad at paperwork or good at paperwork but really don’t know much. We have to move to grading for mastery. #CPSLearns01510

[Rick Rogers @rickrogers409]

And why not apply that at secondary level? Rethink grading practices! #msaachat

[Dr. Steve Meyer @DrMeyer2]

#CPSLearns01510 - We need to change the idea in high schools that you earn credit based on the time you spend in a class. Credit for time served is a prison model. We need focus on deep authentic learning in a way that our current structures don’t support.

[George Couros @gcouros]

"The Absurd Structure of High School" https://t.co/RtOcoPubHn - There are a lot of interesting points here and a possible solution. Is high school done the way it is because we don't believe it can be changed? Many schools are doing high school in a way that works for learning.
