Tom Brady was asked if he would have stayed at Michigan in today’s portal/NIL era.
“Those lessons I learned in college transformed my life as a professional.”
Tom Brady 🔥
Great response from the GOAT.

“Education isn’t about getting kids to pass a test, The real goal ❤️ is to build a LOVE of learning.”

We get it wrong in our work.
It’s not high expectations for ALL.
It’s high expectations for EACH.
Not to where all should be, but from where each is.
A long ago former student reminded me of this last night.
Each can only learn from where they are.

Instead of, “Is he passing?”
Let’s try, “Is he learning?”
Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on.
Let’s move on.
We can do better.

Traditional.
Standards-Based.
Gradeless.
All can be used helpfully or harmfully.
Grading is not the conversation.
Learning is the conversation.

Maybe instead of proficiency scales we should present support scales.
"This is how I will support you."
vs.
"This is how I will grade you."
The scale would define the teaching that supports the learning.
We are supporters, not graders.
Different has to be different.

Every kid the star of their story.
So lucky are we to be a part of their cast.
Even if it’s only a bit part.
Teachers live blessed lives.

Instead of resolutions let's make some
New Year's Educational REVOLUTIONS!
A few of mine...
1. Less planning to teach, more designing to learn.
2. Love first, then learning.
3. Examine the impact of all things through a lens of learning.
What's yours for this new year?
