If we don’t focus on empathy and relationships, any return to school plan is a failure.

School Admin across the US are having to make incredibly difficult and complicated decisions. Decisions that will inevitably make at least 50% of their staff/students/families upset. The emotional toll of being an administrator is unbelievable, show some love to an admin today.

One reason why schools struggle with using assessment as a means to develop hope and target next steps in learning is because most teachers did not experience assessment this way when they were a student. #covidslide #mindthegaps #atplc

Relationships is what is is all about. Connect with the students, especially the most difficult ones. When they know that you care about them. #relationships #CodeBreaker

Millions of teachers and students will be remote as the new school year starts—but relationships will remain the bedrock of learning. We asked teachers for ideas to maintain close ties at a distance. A piece I edited for @edutopia with writer @GonserSarah. edut.to/3hhnoVP
