@ed_maltbie @Ms_VanRyn I think this is an indication of the quality of teachers in this district, and the long lasting effect they had on their students!

Was impressed to see all the hard work David Espin and Angela King put in on our team bulletin board. Giving our "Pioneers Team" pioneers in history to learn from! #NRCSDchat #NRNT1819

When hosting the school-level bee I was blown away by Sravanth's poise and consistency. He should be very proud #ScrippsSpellingBee #nrcsdchat #ihadtolookuphowtospellpoise https://t.co/GSqkAyKbAN

Using Google Slides to create a "Choose your own adventure story." This is such a neat idea, I have a project for this summer. This is perfect for the "Age of Exploration" or "Colonial America" unit. Has anyone tried this? #NRCSDchat #sschat https://t.co/IVRg3oHY29

that he wants to make history fun like I did. She then asked if I would come surprise the seniors at graduation in June and say a few words, I can't wait. Knowing you make a difference in this world, no matter how small...that's why I teach.

On Friday I received a call from the principal at the high school I used to teach at in the Bronx. She told me that not only do the kids constantly ask her about me. But after just receiving news that he is getting a full college scholarship for teaching, this student said

Couldn't agree more. Don't fear old school teachers, technology is your friend! https://t.co/Q7mVimdwTT

Good Ts can't be replaced by tech. What tech does is allow Ts to spend more time focusing on their learners & building those relationships.

An "unconference" is very different than any Ed-PD I'm used to. But I like the idea of a participant-driven, organic experience.

The grading system could definitely be improved, but thrown out all together? Thoughts?#NRCSDchat https://t.co/qMfkgMJpw6

Do all #grades lie about #studentachievement? @mssackstein argues that schools & colleges should just throw out grades - what do you think? #HackLearning #edchat #KidsDeserveIt #grading #teachers https://t.co/cSWlDR1x56
