@azjd Jeff - come see me. That’s exactly where I moved! South of Benson. 10 acre farm. 6 crazy goats, 5 goofy ducks, and 3 Bantam chickens. And about 25 vineyards in a 25-mile radius. Great place to chill.

We need to stop doing things just because it’s what has always been done and spend more time on what matters. edutopia.org/blog/literacy-…

Something to think about...

Pleased by the discussion my piece in today’s NYT (is.gd/MUKozy) is stirring up, but wincing at the misleading click-bait headline. I don’t want all students to get A’s! (I want them to be free of grades.) Gist of the essay is that excellence isn’t inherently scarce

Another thought, why not form a book club with parents and introduce them to more children’s literature?

A way to spend more time reading for enjoyment and modeling how books can be fun.

A2. Start a staff book club to read more children's and YA books. Give attendees copies of the books for their classroom libraries or book clubs. #txlchat

Thanks to a donation from StateFarm to SSPF. 5 CUSD ELD Students received a surprise. Each received a laptop computer for being great students. We have adopted both Hamilton and Chandler High's ELD classes. The experience has been humbling. LUV CUSD & our ELD Teachers.

@MikeDOstilio @tguskey @mssackstein @cat3y @rickwormeli2 @lisa_westman @myrondueck I agree with students being fairly graded and having multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning, but I’m wondering if the titles “educational access” accurately describe what is being shown. This seems more about fairness and accuracy with assessment of learning & grades.

Seems pretty simple. When we read works of @mssackstein @cat3y @rickwormeli2 @lisa_westman @myrondueck @tguskey & put it all together, it's clear what "access to learning" means & the institutional roadblocks that are in place b/c of a reluctance to change-- despite the research
