Woo hoo! Way to go Lyn!

Well deserved!!

No amount of programs, person or computer interventions, well-rounded curriculums, grants, money, or (fill in the blank) will move numbers from Tier 2 & 3, unless your Tier 1 is a well-designed, learning centered force. Tier 1 is the key. Fix it first.

@pronounced_ing Loved your interview on ReThinking with @AdamMGrant . Had no idea how far back you two went!

@msvalvano1 This is too cute. Is yours the upside down face?

A little supervisor team bonding during lunch today. Can you guess which pumpkin in mine?

Heard 2 parents talking at the library. One referenced the #NAEP2022 results & how much trouble we are in as a nation. The other said, “and this is why I pulled my kids and homeschool them”. All I could think about was my girls losing their Grandma (my mom) to COVID. Perspective.

As the news everywhere reports declining maths scores from @NAEP_NCES have a look at this school's approach - which caused gains during the pandemic. Students working together & sharing their different strategies - beautiful! nytimes.com/2022/10/15/us/…

Unfortunately can’t make it bc I’m teaching my grad students that night, but strongly recommend to anyone interested. Pam’s book Mentor Texts that Multitask is phenomenal!

Learning isn't like lining up for a race shoulder to shoulder. Students start in different places. We can only design effectively if we assess prior knowledge. Assessing Prior Knowledge: What Do Your Students Already Know? catlintucker.com/2019/08/assess… #edchat #edutwitter #assessment

I believe all administrators should have a consistent teaching load. Eliminate the fluff meetings, connect w/ students and their families, & experience teaching as it is now. Glad I still taught as a coach bc I experienced COVID teaching. Wish I had taught regularly as an admin.

I found one on eBay! Ordered it. She’s loves @JohnCena more than anything and wants to wrestle when she gets older, so losing this toy crushed her. Next time I’ll check the decorated egg carton before throwing it out 🤦‍♀️

So this mom accidentally threw out my daughter’s beloved @JohnCena action figure. She refuses to take off the dog tags that came with it and is holding out hope that Santa will find him and bring him home. I’m frantically searching for a toy that I can’t find 😢 Any ideas?
