The Nobel committee reminding Americans what an actual prize winner sounds like:
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war."

Why do schools continue to add new initiatives when teachers are already overworked?
Possibly because when considering how to improve outcomes, the human mind is conditioned to favor addition over subtraction.

ALT One big misconception about teaching is the idea that it's 'passing out papers and kids doing work.' People don't understand how much mental, physical, and emotional performance is required, nor how much time it takes to study, create, practice, prepare, reflect on, and revise that performance. We are 'on' all day. —Kelsey Francis, Teacher

Leaders, if you are truly an advocate for students, then you have to be an advocate for teachers. Take care of the ones who take care of the students.

Standardized tests aren't designed to reflect any real grade level competencies, but to create a norm distribution where half the students feel like failures, even before they have had a chance to experience real success in school.
Denise Workman retweeted
Elementary students should not be taking standardized tests because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away their creative genius and excitement of learning, playing, & creating. We develop test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.

Some students need you to believe in them until they believe in themselves. Some adults do too.
