@megomezparker You guys! This is amazing!

Dear Education, please don't over-complicate this situation. Let teachers offer some enrichment,encourage students to read, & check in on their students! Then let them take care of their own families, elderly parents, food shortages, etc. Don't make us look worse than politicians

Should we be worried about traumatizing students by having them read and write about COVID-19? Child trauma therapist and noted YA author Chris Crutcher offers his expert insights: https://t.co/MwNrxVPONL

Great idea...

Hey new TISD teachers (first & second year) you don’t want to miss this!!

[Donna Jeffus @jeffus_donna]

Integrate writing daily; make it routine.

Writing assignments need not be long to be powerful. ✍️

And second year teachers- you are still being supported too!

Don't spend 90% of your energy/time giving feedback on finished product, put that 90% into giving students feedback as they work! #teachergoals

@IamDMill Yeah, I see the resemblance 😊

[Donna Jeffus @jeffus_donna]

🤔what do grades represent?

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed four attempts to demonstrate mastery of a skill the same grade as the student who only needed one attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
