We've hired a differentiating instruction consultant who is going to teach the staff how to differentiate their instruction by reading from a PowerPoint and not differentiating their presentation.
School-provided professional development is nearly always a squandered learning opportunity and waste of time. I don't know how many times I've sat through essentially the same presentation that we paid yet another outside person to come in and "teach" us.
Yesterday I taught five 55-minute classes and had one 55-minute prep. That's 83% of the day in front of Ss, with only 11 minutes to prepare for each class. If there's research that shows this schedule leads to the best educational outcomes for Ss, I'd love to see it. #bfc530
The first Wildcat Player of the Game goes to Annie McClay. In the Jamboree game Thursday she was her teammates biggest cheerleader, going through the ravine to shag foul balls, and even recorded her first hit in a Wildcat uniform. #justgettingstarted
What do you do when you are planning out your @yourNETA schedule and there are six sessions you want to attend, and you've only made it to Thursday @ 11 am?? Anyone have Hermione's Time Turner necklace I can borrow for the next two days?! #neta19
@verizon The Remind app is a way that I can get text messages from my students at home if they need extra help or if I have an announcement for the class. Don’t take away this powerful tool!! #ReverseTheFee
“I think the reasons for learning to code are the same as the reasons for learning to write. When we learn to write, we are learning how to organize, express, and share ideas. And when we learn to code, we are learning how to organize, express, and share ideas in new ways.” https://t.co/5mm5E1Fxvr
