@jaymctighe Do you have any advice or resources for using AI while deep in UbD unit planning? I am worried about losing the "thinking" and want to provide my staff some helpful guidance.

@jaymctighe Hi Jay! We are avid deep users of UbD at my school and I am wondering if you have any advice or resources for using AI when unit planning in UbD. I am worried about the “thinking” part being lost! Any guidance appreciated.

Dear managers: A company is not a family.

Parents owe kids unconditional love. Most companies only offer at-will employment.

A leader's job is not to show daily affection. It's to give people pay and purpose, support their success, and care about their well-being.

If y'all haven't used @KamiApp in a while, I highly suggest you give it a peak. They have some great updates that I am so excited to try out with students. Top of my list: viewing student work live from Canvas, auto-graded quizzes, and pre-made graphic organizers!

I can't stop thinking about this...

Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life:

Use the Difficulty

As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path.

He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene.

The actor's response:

"Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it."

This idea—of using the difficulty—became a defining mantra for Michael Caine's life.

"There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down."

This idea hit me hard...

How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing?

How can you embrace the struggle?

How can you find flow through the friction?

How can you sow the seeds of your light during the periods of darkness?

As with everything in life, control the controllable:

The difficulty is already there, you can't control it.

You can control how you react to it.

You can control your response to it.

You can control your attitude towards it.

Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.

Interventions work best when students are grouped by need across classrooms and staff members are assigned by expertise.  This is a much more efficient and effective way to intervene, in comparison to each teacher keeping her/his own students.

For the first time in 47 years, the Adams County SPCA in Pennsylvania is completely empty. All of their dogs got adopted. 14/10 for everyone ❤️
