Wife, mother, grandmother, American Lit and Spanish 1 and 2 teacher at Irvington Prep in Indianapolis, IN.Making the classroom apply to students' real lives.
@ADiazMora I have 3 students in my Spanish 3 class. They do a lot of things that Spanish 2 does, but conversations tend to be shorter so they are ahead of Spanish 2 . I feel you.
The first day after a break should always be a teacher workday.
Teachers should not be expected to work over a break and be ready to go first thing in the morning with kids.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
1. TEACHERS created the benchmarks. WE developed the expectations. 2. We only assess what's learned, & standards have always evolved.
Stop freaking out over a generation of kids who are 'behind'. They already know more than you did.
Mental health > idealistic academics.
@MrsHarmeyer@IrvingtonPrep After this presentation two of my students came straight to class and started looking up colleges. They were beyond motivated. Thanks, Reilly!
