Incredibly grateful for the recognition and even more grateful to be a part of the amazing team of educators in Farmington. #ProudAP #WeAre192

Tom Brady was asked if he would have stayed at Michigan in today’s portal/NIL era. “Those lessons I learned in college transformed my life as a professional.” Tom Brady 🔥 Great response from the GOAT.

Assessment does not mean test. Assessment does not mean test. Assessment does not mean test. Assess means "to sit beside." Assessment is about our job in knowing where kids are, in communicating where they need to go, & in providing actionable steps to get there.

This simple yet powerful strategy encourages *all* students to participate. We give it two thumbs up! 👍👍

“Education isn’t about getting kids to pass a test, The real goal ❤️ is to build a LOVE of learning.” This 🙌❤️

🙌 Inclusion means #ALL belong. ALL learn. ALL succeed. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Love this! I think the key to doing this is to relentlessly praise the positives!

We get it wrong in our work. It’s not high expectations for ALL. It’s high expectations for EACH. Not to where all should be, but from where each is. A long ago former student reminded me of this last night. Each can only learn from where they are. #Project180

Instead of, “Is he passing?” Let’s try, “Is he learning?” Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on. Let’s move on. We can do better. #Project180

Traditional. Standards-Based. Gradeless. All can be used helpfully or harmfully. Grading is not the conversation. Learning is the conversation. #Project180

Maybe instead of proficiency scales we should present support scales. "This is how I will support you." vs. "This is how I will grade you." The scale would define the teaching that supports the learning. We are supporters, not graders. Different has to be different.

Taking time to have some fun and continue to build community within our team yesterday. Love working with our team @BoeckmanTigers @JoeSageBMS

So proud to be apart of this team supporting a great cause! Another polar plunge in the books! #WeAre192 #BMSPride @dpthomps

Every kid the star of their story. So lucky are we to be a part of their cast. Even if it’s only a bit part. Teachers live blessed lives. #HumbleHumanHelpers

@dpthomps and I are lucky to work with such an incredible team! Proud of their work and everything they do for our learners! #BMSPride

“We were learning.” #Project180
