As a teacher, I am driven by my beliefs that all students are capable: of deep learning, of directing their own trajectories, of contributing to the development of their peers and of responding critically to our society’s economic and social development. @wendywardhoffer

Punishing kids with ADHD for having ADHD makes less sense than giving kids coping strategies. We must first understand the behaviors.

“Maybe the key to improved learning and engaged students DOESN’T depend on access to new technologies or pedagogical strategies.  Maybe it depends on remembering that kids are the most engaged when they feel appreciated.” @plugusin https://t.co/JwujvgwwXv

Such powerful words! Thank you @chrisemdin for helping me rethink how I teach and inspiring me to share even more of my Latino culture with my students. I promise to teach them how to embrace their culture, strengths, diversity, and experience and use it to fuel their success.
