Teacher Reminder: Countdowns to the end of school year send mixed messages to many students. Can we be excited about summer? Of course! Can we also be excited about maximizing our final moments with students without posting a countdown calendar on our board? Yes!

Unpopular Teacher Opinion: When we give students full SAMPLES they do NOT CREATE they just REPLICATE. Rather than giving SAMPLES let’s teach SYSTEMS and STRUCTURES. Because if it has a rubric it is likely more rigorous 💪 Do you agree or disagree? #teacher #opinions #edchat

Educational noise is different than chaos in classrooms Educational noise is audio proof of learning! If noise is coming from: building relationships delivering curriculum students cheering on peers Then the noise is GOOD! Let’s celebrate that! #teacherlife #teachers

Controversial Education Opinion: School data doesn’t mean sh*t unless we truly understand the NAMES behind the NUMBERS Because… Our students are more than figures & flow charts Our students have stories that don’t always translate into stats #education #teacher #edchat

Many schools are changing to the 4-day week with great success If the top argument against a 4 day school week is “Working parents would dislike it. What would they do with their child on the 5th day?” Then the entire goal and purpose of school has been completely missed

Education Hot Take 🔥 Sometimes successful schools are about marketing It’s not about selling a thing, it’s about selling a feeling Students & staff should FEEL like they are part of the school And that feeling is reflected when they walk through the halls & look at the walls
