Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.
.@PresidentPat just fired up my day with a call to action to support new teachers and their authentic stories, as we ask them to model the world we want to create for our students. Thank you, @ASCD. That changed my day.
Beginning 6-12 teachers are deep in the CHAMPS learning process here at St. Lucie Public Schools New Teacher Symposium! @TalentSlps

Wanna start an argument in your class? Ask them to choose and defend their answer to whether this scenario is fair BEFORE doing any calculations.

Your S's don't need people to "keep it real" with them. Their life is real enough. They need people who encourage them to recognize their own curiosity.
The @StLucieSchools team has shown up in force at the #FLBESTJourney training. Grateful to our hosts @EducationFL @collierschools and @GCSharks.
Just a consideration: The hearing on FL's Executive Order forcing schools to reopen brick & mortar is being conducted on Zoom. So the court can decide it's not safe to meet in a courtroom, but schools can't decide it's not safe to open the building.

Want to be an ally? Call out racism and bigotry loud and clearly when you see it. Don’t let people get with it.
This. All of this.
Read it. Then stop, re-read it and consider what that looks like.
Is that how the children in your school see you?

Education family: Where are you getting your learning today? And what did you learn? #MTBoS #iteachmath
For me, it's from @chrisemdin. Are we modeling our instructional practices on images of "good teachers" or on experiences with transformative humans? Are we looking outside the model for the people doing the real work, the pastors/barbers/MC's?

I'm really hoping that one day I can be this lady.
Can't resist. (This is nuts...)
Wish some of my Tweets about keeping school buildings closed during a pandemic got this kind of response...

This is essential, whether teaching virtually or in brick & mortar campuses.
Create a classroom that is a microcosm of the world you want to live in and not a replication of the one we currently have #HipHopEd #PeaceLoveUnityFun
Questionable math alert...
Could be an interesting "What do you think? What do you notice? Why was that chosen?" exercise for a class.

Entering into this weekend, look over your roster. For every child, regardless of their grade or assessment scores, can you identify an AUTHENTIC STRENGTH for each child--some place or some way that they are succeeding, even if only at being persistent in their struggle? 1/
