Here's how I'm doing my tests: They have 2-3 days to do the test, I provide feedback without a grade, students revise for up to full credit. I don't think tests need to be as high stakes as we make them out to be. They are here to learn.

At the @CTWritingProj, one of our teachers taught high school physics and his insights on writing were phenomenal! @physicsdork

How to stop the teacher shortage: 1. Bring it up in the news constantly as a problem instead of ignoring it. 2. Promote the profession. 3. Stop bashing the profession. 4. Respect teachers. 5. Pay teachers as much as other professions with the same education level. #realtalk

Tired of people invoking Muslims in the same-sex wedding cake case. Muslims regularly sell you alcohol, drive you home when you’re drunk, and open their hotels to unmarried couples without imposing their beliefs on you.

Writing instruction is still frightening for many Ts. Writing inquiry is 🗝! @CTWritingProj
