2025 is the year of renewed purpose for my teaching career. No, I’m not planning any moves, just rethinking my WHY. I’m leaning in to helping my students look at different paths for post-grad and snatching up scholarships. It’s not in my state standards, but it matters.

@DrPeteSullivan @TomSchimmer I’m a user of standards based grades, I haven’t perfected it, but I know some students expect to meet a standard because they were “here and tried.” There isn’t that option. There is an expectation. Each standard I set, even not meeting the standard, identifies a positive skill.

Let’s be honest… People aren’t against #SBG. Why would anyone be against basing grades on learning? What many are really against is losing their ability to coerce behavioral compliance through the gradebook. They can’t say that out loud but we all know #ATAssessment #sblchat

This school year has been a tough one, but I choose to move forward with OPTIMISM because you get what you give… I’m just unwilling to give up.

If this isn’t me every day as a high school teacher 😅 seriously! The nice thing is, I teach 5 sections of the same thing, the first day I will teach the thing twice, the next day three times… so I hope I get to hit that better/great threshold more than once!

I’m considering this. I’ve struggled to remediate this last year because so few students will even start working on assignments that I accept after the due date until it becomes a concern about passing or failing. I want to help students learn at high levels, not just pass.

@MarcusLuther6 My policy, written and posted everywhere, is as follows: everything accepted late for full credit. No late assignments will receive written feedback and they are not eligible for revision. So, you can choose - do you need more time or more help?

How should we step in to help students with self-regulation skills? The key term is self, but students have access to apps with algorithms designed for addiction. Students SHOULD have access to devices to learn to control their scroll, but many won’t… and the cost is great.
