Moving to online teaching is a lot of work, not a pivot. Here’s a thread of tasks, mini units or sequences I’ve created for various Eng courses for use online. Please check for grade/level appropriateness. I hope I can make someone’s life a little easier. Please share. 1/11

The Hot Take? It’s nuanced, but important to understand the nuances.

COVID Update: I’ve interviewed well over 100 experts now. With omicron, the graphs & opinions are many but the truths are muddled.

There are plenty of contradictions including 8 important ones. In that muddy world, 2022 will be shaped by differing circumstances & 3 attitudes. 1/

The fact that interdisciplinary courses are not the norm in education blows my mind. We had the opportunity to lessen the workload for kids while creating more complex and meaningful learning opportunities, and we were like, "But, figuring out the schedule is hard."

...And also why we use tuning and other feedback protocols in PBL efforts: “Used with intention, circles shape a listening culture where students practice giving attention to each other and ‘saying just enough’ -- two essential skills for healthy relationships.” @PBLWorks

[Shane Safir @ShaneSafir]

Lots of folks talking about #mentalhealth & #SEL. Community circles are one critical routine to create a listening culture where students give care to each other & learn to 'say just enough'— 2 essential skills for healthy relationships." @edutopia https://t.co/3QNfzEjexb

@WeAreTeachers Grace for students (and ourselves) is key, but I liked the executive function work of #4. Of course, grade methodology removing the mathematically-devastating “zero” should also be included.

@AP Fine. Like in Florida, turn it into a #ballotinitiative in all states in time for the mid-term elections. Should pass most places, and drive turnout toward Dem candidates and other progressive issues on the ballot.

Hedge fund folks have almost always seemed to me to be the least empathetic organizations/people in capitalism. Hope they get caught holding the bag on this one, just once...
