"Middle school is a glorious mess of growth, goofs, and grit. Your job isn’t to pave a perfect path but to be a steady guide. Embrace the weird, cheer the tries, and let your kid stumble a bit—they’ll learn to soar. And you? You’ll survive this adventure too with a few laughs and a lot of love."
AMLE CEO Stephanie Simpson shares the best middle school parenting advice she's received from educators over the years 👇

Hey teachers…make sure you have kids draw their ideas before they build them…
They like to skip directly to building & making, but the sketching & planning help them avoid design problems & incorporate literacy

As school begins it’s a good idea to define with students acceptable vs unacceptable use of AI in the classroom. Here’s a great poster with ideas by Miriam Scott scottybreaksitdown.com/ai/

Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.

Today was the first meeting of the Fall Coding Club! In our Coding Playground, they could choose between creating digital games, to learning a text coding language or breaking out of a few locked puzzles! I’d say it was a great way to start the day! @efmoore
