I never sleep the night before school opens. I'm excited, apprehensive and I know that we will do our best to support our students & families and meet them where they are. Here's to possibly the craziest school year ever! Let's make it awesome!
Dear BOE, superintendents & principals, We see you. Your job is impossible. There are no perfect answers. You didn't receive training for this. There is no manual. We trust you to make the best decisions possible with the information you have. Godspeed (and rest, please rest).
It's much easier to help a faculty that simply doesn't KNOW better, than to help one that KNOWS, but STILL refuses to DO BETTER. #BeBetter #SAMEpage #Schoolculture #VASCD #Teacher #leadership
Thank you VBCPS for the forum tonight. I learned from the panel and commenters. Listening and reflection to continue and action steps to be taken. @vbschools @BeachSupe @VBTitleI @SeatackAADA

There's not a lot of research on dysgraphia yet—but here are a few signs to look out for, plus some strategies to help affected kids express themselves. A piece I edited for @edutopia with @YoukiTerada.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs explains some very important dynamics in the classroom, and it’s essential to understand this for classroom management. It explains why embarrassing students often leads to disrespectful behavior. So don’t embarrass kids.
Tonight, let's have tributes of appreciation for school teachers. Because you're amazing, vital engines of optimism that our nation can and will become a better place. Thank you to all who answer the call to service. May the country that emerges appreciate you more.

In this time of crisis, how you treat all stakeholders in your school community reveals your commitment and connection. What you do for them and what you ask of them right now will have an enduring legacy.
Some great advice for e-learning! @RosemontEagles saravanderwerf.com/modeling-e-lea…
