NISCA- National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association recognizes Coach Thaxton in their January/February 2021 Journal. The article highlights that the Bob Jones swim program is built on traditions of the past, with new goals and enhancements for the future.
@JohnnyStoffel @Mathgarden In my opinion, those real world problems have to connect and have meaning to your students. I normally pull out cookbooks and various recipes. I use these resources to teach fraction operations. I am always looking for new ideas if you have suggestions.
If districts are expecting teachers to teach online and for students to sit at a computer screen for 5 to 6 hours per day then you need to rethink your plan. Because that's not effective teaching and learning. That is not how virtual schools do it because it does NOT work.
Our schools can’t wait– we need the Senate to pass the next COVID-19 relief package and include at least $175 billion for K-12. @sendougjones@SenShelby please support the Coronavirus Child Care and Education Relief Act #FundEducation#FundPublicSchools
I will be doing an online, live weather program Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. CT. it is fun, interactive, and best for kids grades 1-5, but older kids (and adults) will enjoy it as well.
It will be streamed live on my Facebook page (the James Spann page with the blue check)
Instead of expecting teachers to plan "online schooling" for the next two weeks or more can we just STOP! They have families ( siblings, spouses, children, parents) that need their attention too and to take care of themselves. ENOUGH!
To all of the school superintendents out there enduring sleepless nights, in constant communication with health officials, and making tough decisions, you have my respect. Hoping others will understand there's no "training" for these type of situations and that safety matters.
Food for Alabama children: "Due to recent school closures, we understand that it may be challenging for some kids in our community not being able to have a good meal. Charleys in Brookwood Mall will be offering free kids meal to any child. No questions asked!" @spann
A BIG milestone! More kids than ever are using our site to practice & master their reasoning & computational skills. In light of all the school closings, we are offering more, FREE activities to encourage, enlighten & engage kids in learning. Join the fun! https://t.co/hbM5smZsoe
We must move from an “I-We-You” model to a “You-We-I” model in #mathematics teaching to help students become mathematical thinkers. @CathySeeley https://t.co/tEkWo0WN41 #InspireMathCulture
