More than 3 million times a year, technologists make a mistake and accidentally inject radiation into a patient’s arm tissue instead of vein during a nuclear medicine scan. Join me in signing this petition to demand safer nuclear scans! https://t.co/x8QH4S1XxB. #ActNowNRC

I would treat "test writing" as a separate genre, and I would only teach it right before the test. The rest of the year is "real world" writing. If kids write well, they will do fine on the tests. They will not write well if they only do test prep writing.

A simple leadership tip: Make it a habit to notice what others are doing right.

Writing is losing to SEL as a curricular priority.

Yet it's a powerful vehicle for developing social emotional strength.

Anyone using the Three Big Questions? Let's ask kids 1) What surprised you? 2) What did the author (bicyclist or film maker) think you already knew? 3) What changed or challenged your thinking?

Longitudinal study finds that, far from motivating kids to try harder, a bad grade is likely to lead them to act out: https://t.co/p19jlvNylb. (Other research shows that leading kids to focus on grades undermines interest in learning regardless of what grade they ultimately get.)

In a materialistically oriented world there isn’t much understanding of the workings of the mind. What’s necessary is to recognise the trouble caused by negative emotions and that we can develop antidotes to them. The antidote to fear and anger is compassion
