For me, the hardest part of remote teaching is knowing how many of my students are having a REALLY hard time and then being told they've just got to figure it out. "Don't forget about your A+ students!" Here's my response: refusetoreinventthewheel.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/tri…

Triage Teaching
Life in 2020 has been called a dumpster fire more than a few times. I am calling teaching in 2020 a high rise apartment fire. Here’s why: Prior to “the fire” the building was work…
YOU can change the climate and culture of your grade level, your department, your coaching staff, your school. If you are waiting for someone else to change it, you could be waiting forever.

Help Students Help Themselves… And Each Other Through Mission Statements
Teachers always start a new school year with aspirations for their students. We have new activities we want to try out, new standards we want to cover, and old successes we want to repeat. But have…
Today's thoughts... let's all calm the hell down for a second and think about our communities as a whole.
If society is dead set on sending us back into physical schools, the LEAST they can do is stop students/staff from walking in the door infected. #EnoughIsEnough #StopItNow #MakeSchoolsSafeAgain
A good attitude doesn’t mean all smiles. Being positive doesn’t mean being silent. It means you see the problems (are probably pissed about them) and are a part of the solution! These are difficult times for EVERYONE. Let’s stay positive. 👍 #teachinginapandemic
I’m training on @Flipgrid today & am so excited about the Shorts! It’s not brand spanking new, but it’s new to me! This will be so helpful to post weekly agendas for students whether we are in the building or not (thanks for the idea, @SonsOfTechEdu) . blog.flipgrid.com/news/shorts
This whole staying at home thing has reignited my ❤️ for puzzles.... busted this one out in 1 day! #toocoolforschool #restandrelax #bioteacher

Do You Hear What I Hear? (part 2)
“I was listening to a podcast that talked about….” is now a daily part of my life. And with being home more (summer + a pandemic), I have found some great new shows! I wrote about…

How to Open Schools in the Fall
As an educator you have a voice. You have agency. You can make change. You can be a force to stop injustice and racism in your classroom, in your schools, and in your community.

How I’m Bringing Covid Back to School (metaphorically speaking)
And with that “report cards are done” click, the 2019-2020 school year is officially done for me. I’ve done my last Zoom with students. I’ve filled out my last survey. My ro…
Biggest thing for me is involve us in the process.... there's nothing more frustrating that being told something to do something totally impractical in the classroom!
Grand finale guest speaker for my students was @Cotesia1, director of the Alleyne BioInspiration Col-LAB-oration. She shared stories of bugs, not losing sleep over murder hornets, & bringing science, engineering, and art together through nature . #womeninscience #quaranteaching
I text my students every day... can't imagine that wouldn't be weird with brand new students! Would they judge my bitmojis?
The only reason this TeleSchool period has functioned at all is that I already knew my kids for 6 months. I shudder to think about opening online and starting out the fall at a distance.
A new episode of @lifeoftheschool is out today.... and I’m on it! 😁 This was so much fun. Thanks for having me, @MrMathieuTweets . #teacherpodcast lifeoftheschool.org/life-of-the-sc…
There were so many characters in my classroom... who knew I would find all these new ones in my Zoom room?? #quaranteaching #putyourselfonmute
This is what every teacher would like every student to know! 🤣 Link to full version: youtu.be/RPtAt1ZUXw8 #quarantimes #zoom #lrnchat #edchat #elearning #edtech
My classes have had the chance to Zoom with @NeilShubin & @SteveBrusatte recently. I am so thankful for amazing scientists who are willing to give up their time to inspire the next generation of minds. #2020education #quaranteaching #guestspeaker
