Students should absolutely understand why their work matters—everyone wants to do work that matters. In our careers, we do tasks that we don’t want to do because we know why it matters. Reframe the goal: make learning relevant.
Anyone else noticing students opting out of assignments because they don’t like them or are boring? I think one of the after effects of their time “learning at home” is that they have determined that if they don’t like doing it, it doesn’t have value. Or is it just me?
Amazing day @BGCA_Clubs Burbank. Creating BattleBots while exploring personal connections to careers. Thank you, @KollabYouth for making today possible.
.@EmmaWatson when Iran was elected to join Commission on the Status of Women, Iranians warned @UN_Women of the Islamic Republic’s abysmal track record of violating women's rights. Now regime killed #MahsaAmini & others. Be our voice to revoke Islamic Republic’s membership.
Women of Iran-Saghez removed their headscarves in protest against the murder of Mahsa Amini 22 Yr old woman by hijab police and chanting:
death to dictator!
Removing hijab is a punishable crime in Iran. We call on women and men around the world to show solidarity.

3rd day of #6thGrade my son was asked to write about cell phones in #school (they are 1:1 with laptops now). His essay made me think, what if I couldn’t use my cell phone for #work? Here it is-straight from the desk of an 11-yr-old! #futureready#NextGenEd#middleschool#teaching
Everyone is tired & overwhelmed—no doubt we’ve been under stress lately. Be kind to yourself & your students. If one of you “just can’t” today—then, don’t. Side step into something that is engaging & meaningful. Inspiring motivation is worth the detour—it will bring back the can!
Ukraine's prime minister directly asked Nestle's leaders to cease operating in Russia, where it paid $502 million in taxes last year. Nestle denied the request, saying there's no reason to stop Russian operations.

Imagine if these Islamic Republic officials faced a law obliging them to remove their hijabs when they're in the US. How would the world react?
In Iran, the Islamic Republic regime forces female politicians, athletes & tourists to wear hijab.
I ask the world not to be silent!
#empathy is key—presume that everyone wants to be their best self. #students & #teachers make choices that aren’t aligned to who they want to be. We all need reminders—our actions become who we are. Looking for resources to support #SEL & #RestorativeJustice ? Checkout @thrively
Discipline is not yelling, screaming, and/or punishing a kid. Discipline is coaching them towards better decisions and having them take ownership of their actions.

Shame on @newsbreakApp —The #parent is not entitled, they are frustrated! Parents & #teachers should feel supported... no one signed up for this job description! No child should be failing—all kids should be learning & thriving! The right response is— what supports would help?
Iran just executed wrestler Navid Afkari - an actual peaceful protestor - despite international calls for mercy.
Never forget: This is the regime Joe Biden wants to appease if he is elected in 52 days.
