You could get feedback that is unexpected or even hurts, but it will be worth it in the end. #takearisk #classroomculture #theyareworthit #soareyou

The example we set, encourages our colleagues to elevate their game. Or it doesn’t. But our colleagues notice our game.

What are you grading?
If you're doing homework, are you grading understanding or compliance? If you do notebooks are you grading understanding or organization? If you have a student that takes great notes, and doesn't understand, do they pass? @MrATeachesMath #NCTMRegionals

Having some fun today as "Wonder Willis" - saving one lesson at a time with a best practice or data! #educoach
