If schools had incorporated a true hybrid option, some kids could stay home this week while some kids went to school. Everyone could get what they need while we also stay safe.

Instead, it's 2022 but we're doing March 2020 all over again.

@pennykittle These notes are beautiful! When I’m working with digital submissions, I use a Chrome extension called Keyset. It allows me to save and organize feedback that I give over and over into menus, from which I touch a single key and the comments I created paste easily onto documents.

@DariusVDaughtry My students and I just read “what can a poem do” thinking about ars poetica in AP Lit class today. It set their hearts and minds on fire. Thanks for your voice!

High school course syllabi is likely to be a moveable feast this school year.

Could be an opportunity to mix things up!

[Tamara Nicoll @tamnicoll]

@CarolJago Yes! What an opportunity!

@MarisaEThompson I resonate deeply with this. All year students have begun their texts and emails apologizing for not being able to keep up with the demands of learning during a pandemic. Working to shift their narrative toward resilience and empowerment.

@SurthrivEDU Striving to create a learning environment wherein students can practice empowered vulnerability. Teaching should protect Ss choice and agency, a paradigm of students as inquirers who journey. Letting go of traditional grading practices would help.

@SurthrivEDU @edpuzzle I find teaching writing through revision builds more empowered writers. Teaching writing first causes students to overly focus on compliance or feel fearful of getting it wrong. It also prevents them from working through their own process of creating.

How many books should students read in a given school year?

More.

@jennifernvictor @kelly_zvobgo Congratulations Dr. Zvobgo! Sycamore IS a purposeful and creative learning community. Even online during quarantine. This photo is a small example of the myriad ways in which Sycamore cherishes and empowers students. I’m so glad to connect!

Any one have high school students blogging in their English classes? I’m looking for app/platform suggestions and ideas of how to navigate curriculum with minors publishing to a wider audience. #ncte #cate

[Tamara Nicoll @tamnicoll]

@jennifernvictor @ScharSchool @GeorgeMasonU I love this about online learning. Even at the high school level, I’ve had students join from South Korea and France (well and also from a ski slope in Big Bear) class sessions I’m hosting in Southern California.

@MelAlterSmith @ClintSmithIII @LNCharter @writebloody @ncte It was your workshop at the CATE convention in LA last February that opened my eyes to #teachlivingpoets and introduced me to Smith’s poetry. I’m so grateful to you for the TLP work you do. It’s really transformative!
