@MsAprilWatkins We usually have reanactors come in for a day. Thought about seeing if they would video their presentations in 5 minute segments. Then I would make a virtual civil war day. Plus add in other things.

The #BostonMassacre happened 249 years ago today, March 5, 1770. This hand-drawn #map showing the scene of the crime outside @BostonianSoc is attributed to #PaulRevere, silversmith and sometime propagandist... https://t.co/suRz2t0QcL

A4: "No retakes." Often used with the "...in the real world" explanation. Uh...kids are living in the real world as are we and I get to adjust and make changes constantly. #CultureEd

Kids deserve it!

Query for my teacher friends-do you think homework teaches responsibility? Evidence?

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

If a kid needs help with a math skill, we help them with that math skill.

If a kid needs help with their organizational skills, shouldn't we help them with organizational skills?

Many soft skills & emotional intelligence deficiencies inhibit access to academics.

@skylerorionx That would be funny to see (and maybe a little scary?)

Great set of questions. Whenever I try to have a discussion about homework in our grade level meetings I always feel inadequate and inarticulate. This says what I want to say, especially about responsibility. https://t.co/5LIhet23yG
