Now, more than ever, it is important to actually TEACH, not just ASSIGN. Kids write better when they are surrounded by other writers, EVEN VIRTUALLY! Demonstrate your own writing AND let them see each other writing silently—online. You CAN replicate workshop magic online. #tcrwp

Slow your roll and think about the students and making connections thoughtfully. Its not just about packets of work or technology. Quality over quantity.
When the going gets tough, our teachers keep going. Like many of our schools, @GoodyearElem had printed materials prepared for students to take home add'l assignments during the school closure. We may be closed but learning must continue. Keep up the learning & please stay safe!
Happening now! Volunteers from across Marietta City Schools are pulling food from every school cafeteria, loading trucks, and preparing to distribute 5,000 meals each day next week to 81 different stops along 18 bus routes. More info coming soon. Let’s do this... #nokidhungry
Instead of expecting teachers to plan "online schooling" for the next two weeks or more can we just STOP! They have families ( siblings, spouses, children, parents) that need their attention too and to take care of themselves. ENOUGH!
Standing ovation for this one. We’re so busy sending kids off to the fix-it room that we ignore the other six hours a day where the real work resides. I’d add that we don’t have an intervention problem as much as we have a common sense problem.
A4: Student empowerment is #1 for engaging students in the learning process. Offering student voice and choice. Clarifying learning goals with success criteria. Inviting students to self- and peer-assess. To have Ss own the learning Ts need to let go. #satchat@spencerideas
When staff members are having a bad day, how do they hope their principal will deal with them? With grace, with patience… cut ‘em some slack maybe?
