Students are constantly feeling rushed. Before theyβre able to master a skill or concept, they get assessed and are told to move on. It leads to high anxiety and a low sense of self worth. We need to worry less about βstaying on paceβ and care more about depth of understanding.

* Trust them as professionals
* Treat everyone as individuals/ humans

Struggling students do not want easier work and lower standards. These students want an adult that will love them regardless of their grades, a teacher who has the patience to reteach them difficult material, & a teacher who believes greatness is within them!

βI am not assessing your work to grade you. I am assessing your work to help you. I am simply joining you in your learning, so together we can build better.β
I used to think teaching was assigning and grading the work.
Now I believe it is framing and supporting the work.

Thereβs a reason theyβre keeping schools underfunded, understaffed, and under attack.
The wealthy want to profit off privatizing the system, treat teachers like replaceable gig workers, and control curriculum in order to hide their machinations and create ideal workers.
