A4: our school is going through quite a few growing pains that I didn't expect, making the year more challenging. Our community is also very divided over a number of things. 😔 Weighs heavy on the staff #LangChat
A3: 100% different! Covid made me make hard boundaries for myself. B4 I was all work. But not always productive work. Grades as few and far between as possible. More focused on how the kids are doing than ever. #LangChat
A2 cont: thankfully I'm reusing lots of unit plans and I plan by the week and reuse the same plans for the 2nd week a plus with an A/B block schedule #LangChat

1. TEACHERS created the benchmarks. WE developed the expectations. 2. We only assess what's learned, & standards have always evolved.
Stop freaking out over a generation of kids who are 'behind'. They already know more than you did.
Mental health > idealistic academics.
Are you a homeschooler or know one? Check out and share this totally virtual convention filled with lots of resources and information. July 9th is opening day! facebook.com/events/s/free-r…

I hope state legislatures and governors pay attention to this. Educators did something these last 9 weeks that they have never been trained to do. They didn’t receive any extra money to host zoom sessions at 7pm at night. @govkristinoem @realDonaldTrump @BetsyDeVosED #sdedchat
