A friend posted Amy Fast’s quote, “Find me someone who settles for average in teaching and I’ll show you someone who doesn’t understand the magnitude of the mission.”
How powerful this statement is…no room for average, mediocre, status quo, or stagnation.

Schools are making decisions now on whether to promote struggling students. Remember, doing more of what didn't work the first time isn't the answer. Retention is not an intervention. #LeadInclusion#edchat#spedchat
We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. And they get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. If we can’t give students more movement, recess, and play time then we don’t understand education.
If we care about being educated, we need to take some personal responsibility for educating ourselves. I recommend reading and listening. And it’s healthy to have our perspective challenged.
A3 Pulling students from the classroom because they have a label harms a sense of belonging (and self-efficacy). There are wonderful alternates to this approach that are research based and support belonging. We all have strengths and needs. #pypchat
Everyone has untold stories of pain and sadness that make them love and live a little differently than you do. Stop judging! Instead, try to understand.
