@FixingEducation @buzzjorgensen You can't throw a kid away because they are disrespectful, break the rules, and don't care. Putting them on virtual is telling them that they don't matter. Even the ones that are awful. There are other options. It's hard and I see them every day but we can't throw them away.

A teacher friend of mine told an 8th grader to lower his voice in the library. The student told him to “f*ck off.” That student was sent to the office and it was later discovered he received zero consequences. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞?

@DaveRichardsPhD I have been working in the same direction for quite a while. Might I ask, what does your change look like?

I have had the privilege of leading and supporting the transition from traditional education models to personalized, competency-based learning since 2012. During that time, it has become increasingly clear that districts don't fail at competency-based learning because of vision. They fail because their systems and structure don't change. In Michigan, we are ready to systemically shift our model of learning. Increasing student engagement, developing meaningful assessments, and creating a culture of learning to support every child, every day. Thank you to @BridgeMichigan for highlighting the important work happening on multiple fronts to make this happen. bridgemi.com/talent-educati…

Thought provoking article that proposes that just like textbooks shouldn't drive curriculum, class tech shouldn't drive what we teach, rather it should enhance what we teach. Every Tech Tool in the Classroom Should Be Ruthlessly Evaluated nytimes.com/2024/04/24/opi…

@jaymctighe That is my absolute favorite quote. The way it changes the focus of teaching and learning is so powerful.

The MA DOE has produced an informative, interactive guide to Creating Curriculum Units based on the UbD® framework. This is an excellent resource to use with district curriculum teams. mass.gov/doc/creating-m…

I correct my original tweet. It has now been 12 months, that's a full year and my panels have still not passed inspection. Still paying but not receiving any benefits. @its20good how can you sell a product that takes more than a year to finish?

@D1gSolar It has been 7 months and my solar panels still haven't passed inspection, don't produce electricity and there isn't any insulation in my attic. The best part, I'm already paying for them.

A3. Our P3 leader Jenny Ray is retiring. We know we want to do something nice but nothing finalized yet. Maybe we will get an idea from this chat. #kyadmin

Love it @mrsenzweilerBES your students did a great job! A little design thinking, a little multimedia, and a lot of personality! Thanks to Poseidon Pizza for working with us and I can't wait to have a Beechwood pizza!
Amanda Klare, NBCT@klarebeechwood

I have to brag on my teammate, @mrsenzweilerBES—Her Ss got to work in groups to create a pizza using fraction knowledge. Then they made commercials and an ad for their pizza for our local pizza place, @Poseidons_Pizza. The owners talked about entrepreneurship & chose the winners!

I think all administrators should teach students on a regular basis. It keeps them keep sharp, empathize with teachers and students, and provides an opportunity to be a model classroom. It lends credibility to decisions and respect amongst the staff. edweek.org/leadership/tea…
