When your student compiles, prints, and gives you a family recipe book, you have to try one.

@ryanr_lester What if we put money into recouping that learning loss when it's safe? I bet it will cost less money, but I'm not holding my breath for that decision because it will most impact people who are disposable in our society.

He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!

I told a student that if she chooses something to do from a list we generated of things that support mental wellness, I would do it with her this week. Now I'm looking for TikTok dances to learn.

Should have edited that list. 😂

Ready for a paradigm shift? Many students w/ behavioral disorders also have an expressive or receptive language disorder.

Students who act out may not be trying to get in trouble.

But, they may be trying to communicate a need.

Y'all realize that "morale boosts" are a bandaid for a system deep wound, right?

Thanks, 'rona.

I mean, they do it in Finland and better. Part of the issue is cultural, harder isn't always smarter. Part of it is systemic, having time, resources, respect, and balance.

I can’t even imagine what would happen if teachers and school staffs only worked their contractual hours, only fulfilled their contractual duties and only used the resources their schools provided.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them sick leave, health care and hazard pay.

@TeachMrReed Sat in a PD yesterday where we didn't even acknowledge stated concerns about teaching at the height of a pandemic. We have reached the point where our humanity is irrelevant.

Today, my 5th graders had 100% attendance, great engagement, rich conversations about our holiday break, a lesson about jazz music + context clues, successful small groups, and an overall good time.

Remote learning CAN work if y’all would just LISTEN TO THE TEACHERS. Please.
