If you’re a teacher… don’t assume your students know you care about them. You gotta show ‘em… every day. If you’re an administrator... don’t assume your teachers know you support them. You gotta show ‘em… every day.

Grades are a joke. I can make a test ridiculously hard or easy. I can assign an arbitrarily large amount of homework and accept no late work, or allow infinite retakes and give easily-copied worksheets. I can make you write the essay how I would. LEARNING is the point, not grades

We talk a lot about students being engaged. It occurs to me that one of the hallmarks of a great classroom is the TEACHER being engaged. Kids love it when their teacher is active, involved, and energized. And they can tell which ones are really “into it” & which ones aren’t.

It's not 'my' team... it's our team.
It's not 'my' school... it's our school.
It's not 'my' idea... it's our idea.
Our words matter.

“After years of being told what to learn, students don’t magically own their learning just because we schedule time for it in our lesson plans. We have to cultivate ideas and nurture questions and wonderings; otherwise, imagination dies.” - @katiemartinedu, #LCinnovation
