Authentic Audiences in the Classroom
It's not as hard as you think, and it's way more important than we realize.

Our students didn’t sign up for this pandemic & distance learning. Make no mistake, it’s a traumatic event for most & their families, especially Sr’s. You can’t fix trauma by assigning volumes of online worksheets. Focus on what they really need. Support!
Lots of people trying to figure out if they're doing things right during the #schoolclosure.
Here's the deal. If you are constantly asking, "What's best for my students?" you're doing it right.
If you aren't, my guess is you're doing education wrong in general.

Parent engagement has never mattered more. School leaders may be creating distance learning plans. Teachers may be creating distance learning content. But parents are creating the conditions to facilitate learning at home. Engage them in the process.
As we prepare virtual & remote learning opportunities, remember to consider & find a moment to take care of our students emotional needs during this time -trauma doesnt just go away, for many school was that safe place, a place they thrived. All kids need to know they are loved!
My weekend 4R’s: Read-Reflect-Reimagine & Redesign how I’m going to approach teaching my students for the next 2 1/2 months. The challenge awaits & excited to get started! #WeGotThisWA
Watching so many teachers go through the struggle of “but if I can’t grade it how will I make them do it/learn it?” Folks it can be done. Students want to learn. If the grade is the only thing making them do the work reconsider if the work is worthwhile.
Noticing how people are “still smiling with their eyes” now that some of their mouths are being covered by protective masks. I also see a lot of concern! I wonder how much we can help if we are willing to really take a closer look and take action?#seehearknow
