My mom is retired, & she spends her winters volunteering at a sea turtle rescue center in south Texas. The cold snap is stunning the local turtles & they’re doing a lot of rescues. She sent me this photo today of the back of her Subaru. It’s *literally* turtles all the way down.

A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us to show us how they did it. A mentor walks alongside us to show us what we can do.

Going Gradeless. I have stopped a point system completely and given quarter “grades” based solely on feedback, agency, and progress. Game changer.

Don’t use your energy to worry!
Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think, and to grow. 🧠

We measure a lot of stuff in schools. But often we measure what’s easy to measure and not what matters most.
What if when we walked into classroom, we were looking for happiness levels? A sense of safety and belonging? JOY?

Giving direction is not the same thing as giving directions. Directions are instructions how. Direction is the reason why.

🤨 Question for educators??
Can you name a school or district who actually “reimagined education” during the pandemic?
Like, is there any school, district, superintendent who scrapped virtual learning and actually reimagined education??

Look, fellow professors. What the hell are you all doing ?
I just told my class, “you don’t want to write that. I don’t want to read it. Why do that to ourselves?” And someone started crying.

Chromebooks have a built-in screen reader!
Use Ctrl + Alt + Z to activate.
Also, on Android mobile devices, ask the Google Assistant "read this" on an article to hear it aloud.
