When I talk about doing away with standardized tests, one push back from NON educators is how do you hold teachers accountable. Well Gates foundation et.al. spent 700 millions dollars only to find out standardized test do NOT reflect teacher effectiveness.

By ending classes intentionally, you can "add extra oomph" into your lesson, says educator @finleyt. Give one of his 22 finishers a try: edutopia.org/blog/22-powerfu…

A few of my core admin beliefs: 🍏 Please don’t apologize, I trust you. 🍏 Love kids first, teach them second. 🍏 If you need to be absent, be absent. We will make it work. 🍏 Wear what makes you happy. 🍏 Drive safely. 🙃

Ever tried teaching middle school math to kids who don't know their times tables, can't do mental math, don't know basic factors/multiples, can't reason thru problems, don't have basic, problem-solving strategies? Every one of those skills can be taught using problems like these!
