Anything but Comic Sans

If you could only use one font for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Teaching is the only profession where you have to put on a "Dog and Pony show" to show you're a professional. Formal Teacher evals need to go away. Informal evals with proper support as needed is what's needed.

Use with caution, but some quick-and-dirty estimates of the share of each state's population ever infected with COVID.

These assume—per various expert studies/estimates—that about 1 in 11 infections were detected in March through mid-May but that's improved to about 1 in 3 now.

@courosa Definitely interested in a tutorial! Thank you

Is this how idiots acted when seatbelts were invented? They protested over their right to die in a crash? My god. WEAR THE MASK.

Georgia is suspending standardized testing for the upcoming school year & formal teacher evals and are seeking to permanently cut certain tests. This will also save $10's of millions from the budget that can be used toward teacher pay, etc. Let's hope other states step up!

Elementary kids shouldn’t have more than an hour or two of work per day. That’s it. That’s all they need. Many miss teachers. Some are scared & anxious. & they just want their parents to be parents right & not feel like they have to be the education warden. Focus on play & family

[Dr. Alec Couros @courosa]

Let's respect their plea...

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

The value of a teacher cannot be reduced to the quality of their lesson… and the value of a student certainly cannot be reduced to the quality of their test score.
