In awe of the student who, after asking for a letter of rec, sent me a Google doc of advice for letter writers, links to the essays he'd written in my classes, copies of my comments on his writing, *and* a list of his memories & takeaways from each class 💫

Just saw this thread by @NomeDaBarbarian posted on tiktok and CAN A NEUROTYPICAL PERSON CONFIRM BC WHAT?!? You mean you do things w/o actively making a new choice to do it every time you do it and you dont have to exert the same energy to make yourself do it every time?

Mother’s Day has the apostrophe before the ‘s.’
So celebrate as many mothers as you’d like, but do so one at a time to make each extra special.

🧵Feedback is an area that often unnecessarily burdens teachers and steals too much time.
Feedback doesn't need to require a teacher to sit for hours and write comments on pages. In fact, that's often one of the least effective methods.
Ideas to try instead.

I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.

A4: Choice, discussion, and immersion. I want to give my students a choice in what they read when I can. I want to foster organic discussion of their reading, and I want to immerse them in reading opportunities for pleasure and learning. #nctechat
