I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.
'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'

Heard someone today say, “The kids are going to be so behind when they get back.”
But, we recognize that the only thing they’re behind is our own perception of where they should be, right?
The content we assign to grade levels isn’t inherent to age. We did that. We can undo it.

Dear @JBPritzker we are on the rise again and schools are about to open. Superintendents around the state are in a no win situation. Make the call to go remote. Don’t let IL be the next FL.

We all have opinions based on family circumstance, and I respect that. This morning I filled out a survey asking my feelings on the safety of #ReopeningSchools. However flawed and biased, here they are.

This is what we do. We gather to support the families and community we serve. Today, we came together to distribute 2,000 meals to those in need. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to support the amazing learning community of District 62. #62learns #62workingtogether

59.3% of New York City Ever-ELLs got a passing grade on their ELA exam, better than the native English speakers with 51.5%. Educators think ELLs end up outperforming native English speakers because by toggling between two languages, they learn more. ow.ly/JbLn50wRt4t

I didn't realize how much homework took away from family time and time for a kid to be a kid until my first child started having homework...in first grade.

Quick activity on idioms to get the kiddos thinking about interesting ways authors use language. They did a great job using context to determine meaning and then did a gallery walk to learn from each other! #2ndGrowsatFO

Students worked on a digital narrative breakout box today! They practiced skills like dialogue, word choice and plot. Such a great review for our unit! #62Learns #62ICS #NarrativeWriting #BreakoutEDU

I dropped out of high school. A year later got a G.E.D. Over the next 10 years took college classes PT bc I had kids and couldn’t afford to go FT. Today, most people don’t know my story. They see a dedicated T who supports Ss so they can be successful in all areas.

Teachers are more motivated when their administration supports them, values them, and encourages them. Guess when students are more motivated.
