@JasonAblin I always my teachers’ energy spent in front of the kids. Last thing I want is them spending 4 hours on a Sunday night on lesson plans. I can tell if they teaching by simple walk throughs. I’ve always wanted to take things off their plate, not add more.
I have a better idea. How about we let teachers turn in instructional materials? Think slide decks, annotated texts, anchor charts, and even PLC agendas. If teachers have those things, then they also have plans.

This so ridiculous. The kids loved it and showed appreciation for the good giggle.
I'm about to order a copy or two myself.
*a scholar comes to my office
Me: Is everything ok?
Her: No! I’m sleepy!
Me: Ok, go to sleep.
Turned off the light, rolled my chair outside of the office, and did my work from my lap for 15 mins while she napped. I heard the rest of her day was great. ❤️

Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas.
Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments.
One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.
