I'll paraphrase Therese Huston here: Give appreciation once a week . . . give evaluation twice a year. Ts desperately need this. Let's not go weeks (or months) between interaction (FEEDBACK) with leaders. #ELMagChat

So impressed by the thoughtful and (yes) compassionate responses in this #ELMagChat--especially given all the challenges in schools right now. You are all so inspiring, truly. Thank you for joining us.

A5: Well, this is partly what I wrote about in the Compassionate Discipline issue, so I'm going to start with a link to that piece. ascd.org/el/articles/how-to-… #ELMagChat

A5: Here are a few: 1. Lack of a #restorative infrastructure (trained staff, available space, available time), 2. Over-reliance on one restorative person who holds everything together, 3. A lack of commitment to stay the course when things get messy. #ELMagChat

A2: This empathy map recently posted by @PrincipalProj is a great tool for helping educators uncover the most important information when making connections with all students including those those that seem hard to reach. #ELMagChat – at Bakersfield, CA

Holy cow 🐄! This follow up @ELmagazine interview with @MisterMinor is unbelievable. His tenacity to honor those who’ve been at the work for decades and to call out the damning effects of profitability in education is powerful 💥 stuff. Watch 👀 this! 👇🏻

If you haven't read @MsVanhala's article on how she got to her philosophy on grading, please do yourself a favor. It's a great one: ascd.org/publications/educat… #elmagchat
A4 I just CANNOT take points off for late work. Sometimes taking an extra day or two or three is exactly what the S needed to make an absolutely amazing demonstration of their learning. #ELMagChat

What an EXCELLENT #ELMagChat today!! If you want more of this energy and conversation join us tomorrow at 3pm in the #ASCDlounge. We'll be talking about Social Emotional Learning #SEL

What a comprehensive piece by Jessica on how to meet students' SEL needs from a distance. There is a lot in here. I almost feel like I should get a grad credit after reading this piece it was so informative.
Check it out

A7: Last month’s @ASCD Express issue on “Stress-Busting Strategies for Educators” has tips for coping w/ a unique set of stressors & how to employ a schoolwide trauma-informed approach for teachers as well as students. ascd.org/ascd-express/vol15/… #ELMagChat

A5: Don't punish for lack of attendance in live mtgs--record to make available later. Some students may not want to be on a live zoom call because their homes are too noisy, or might be embarrassed bc of something else about their family they don't want to reveal. #ELMagChat

A2 I liked this guidance from New Mexico: focus on the kinds of learning experiences that homes are best able to support, rather than trying to make school happen at home. webnew.ped.state.nm.us/wp-co… #ELMagChat

.@ELmagazine has a free special issue out on remote learning. My piece is "Keep it Simple, Schools" :
Publish good projects and learning resources. Make them accessible. Disseminate widely. Check in with students. Solicit feedback. Plan for re-entry.
