If we spent as much time on recess as we do on standardized testing, our students would be much more prepared for the real world.

@MrsDowling28 @sldews HAPPY Birthday! ❤️👌🧁

Happy Birthday Ms. Dew’s!!! Working with you is a dream! 🧡🐯💙 @sldews

@DyslexiaTrainer It’s not just about reading. The Dyslexic brain processes differently ❤️

What's one thing you want your child's teacher to know about them and dyslexia this year? #dyslexia

So important!.🙌 🌐 teachergoals.com

@MmeLockhartLDSB I did this last year too and it taught me so much! Definitely lots of work, but worth every second

So true! 🙌

❌ The #student who isn't a "good test taker" doesn't have flawed learning. Assessing students in only one way is the flaw. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter #Assessment

Kindness counts. 🧡

The biggest mistake we make in education is focusing on weaknesses instead of strengths and talents. Every child has potential!

Or my favorite from Mark Twain. “Data is like garbage. You better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this… Teaching a literacy curriculum program like a script, lesson-by-lesson, to all kids without considering their current interests, abilities, and needs: - is not scientific - drains the joy out of learning - leads to inequities

Wow! Emily Hanford @ehanford & Stanislas DeHaene @StanDehaene at the amazing @PlanetWordDC Museum! What an opportunity for anyone in DC interested in how the brain learns to read, the #scienceofreading, early reading instruction, and language! #ElemEd #language #literacy

@BenisonMrs @MmeLockhartLDSB Strengthen that Tier 1!

Can this be said enough?

@EmilyAPaschall I love this so much

One of my favorite things we’ve implemented this year is our school wide Morning Meeting. Our day starts together in the gym where we have a morning greeting, say the pledge, and sing the National Anthem. We celebrate birthdays and talk about our character word of the week. Then we end with our school chant. It’s the best way to spend the first ten minutes of our school day! Here’s a clip of us singing the National Anthem together. ❤️🤍🩵 I love our school.

@WendyWall_Math Absolutely. Love this

“In school,timed tests teach kids that success is a sprint. But in life, success is a marathon. Wisdom is less about the speed of thought than the complexity of thinking. The students with the greatest potential aren’t always the ones who can rapidly spit out the right answers…

@sldews @BaileysES_FCPS Have a great school year ♥️

We met lots of new students and their families at the PTA’s playdate on Sunday. Everyone is excited about the new school year! @BaileysES_FCPS #WeAreBaileys
