Research can't tell teachers what to do—classrooms are too complex for that ever to be likely. But research can identify "best bets" for improving practice, and the Great Teaching Toolkit Evidence Review is pretty much the state of the art in this regard: https://t.co/FJXMJ8NuxL

Some things I want my students to know...

Know who you are
Know you have purpose
Know your strengths
Know your dreams
Know your choices shape your future
Know you matter (you have infinite worth)
Know empathy
Know kindness
Know I’m your biggest fan

Rubrics I made this week with Creative Writing, based on studies of curriculum, learning map, exemplars. Embedded curricular competencies with student-created criteria beneath. They reflect after attempts, using columns to label achievement & adjust for future. #gradeless

The thoughts going through your mind right now will pass. Focus on the positive, the good things you have in life. Everything you've stressed and worried about in the past has come and gone. These thoughts and emotions you're feeling right now will too. You got this. Just believe
