Ooooo I’m loving this “People of the Global Majority” instead of “People of Color”

You're not grading assignments. You're collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing them towards their next steps. Make the mental switch. It matters.

PLEASE consider how you’re posting to Google Classroom. One student I checked in with has received 300+ emails in 7 class days. And please show students how to adjust their Classroom notifications. Walk them through it. They’ll appreciate your help.

Every added click is another opportunity for a student to get lost. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

#COVIDー19 has proven: Accountability is not the driving force behind great teaching. We’ve removed state tests, teacher evaluations, and even grades in some cases. What happened? Teachers are working harder than ever! #BoldSchool #satchat #SaturdayThoughts #leadupchat

Please stop telling students everything is due at a certain time with “zero excuses” for late work because we’re all magically supposed to have adjusted to the new normal by now. Grown ups are literally deferring their monthly mortgage payments. Your worksheet can wait.

The legacy of a great teacher is not built in their lesson plan book… but in their conversations with students. The lessons are important… but the relationships are essential.

Reopened schools in other countries offer insight into what reopening might look like: staggered schedules, much smaller class sizes, leniency towards absences and only five kids on the playground at a time. @anya1anya ow.ly/QCwW50zq2rD

Allow your students to be the same imperfect human being that you are. Sometimes you forget things, are too tired to do something tonight, have a bad day, need more time.

Good morning!🌞 We are a few weeks into #remoteteaching and we’ve learned a little more about what’s working, and what’s not. Let’s start a thread of #DOsandDONTsRL to share what we have learned. #teachingduringcoronavirus @teacher2teacher @TeachersOnFire @edutopia

New #HangoutsMeet controls for #DistanceLearning: for impromptu meetings, participants won’t be able to re-join after the last person has left the call. Admins can also control whether students can create or join meetings without a teacher present. goo.gle/2Qy7hbz
