One of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a consultant is being able to facilitate conversations and shared work where I can step back and watch teachers who trust each other enough to wonder and think together. This Fayetteville AR group did just that this week and it was magical. #EduSky

Whether you are almost done with the school year or just finished, I think it's really important to take time and consider whether the way your grading policy impacted your classroom and particularly the learning within it.
(Even better: if you can, ask students about choices you made!)

This space was buzzing all day as Vancouver elementary teachers were led and inspired by @katiewhite426.bsky.social to think about responses to assessment, involving kids in the response, and meaningful core competency reflections. 6 sessions in 4 days with various groups! It was AMAZING!

Anytime we invite students to think about how they learn and the decisions they are making in service of learning, we are sharing the ownership of learning with them. Tools like this can help facilitate the process. www.solutiontree.com/ca/free-reso... #edusky

"Hey everyone, we're just going to pause for a second—one to five, how is everyone doing?"
1️⃣ ask them how they're doing
2️⃣ if you want, count the #'s (how many 5's, 4's, etc.)
3️⃣ have them share with a partner
Best 5 minutes you can spend in a classroom.

This is gold. Truly.
Had a really good experience with this last week, so I wanted to detail each step of the lesson (spoiler: we spent nearly an hour doing "stuff" before students got their actual feedback!)

Before You Return Feedback To Students
What we did as a class together (key word: together!) before students received their individual essay feedback

Mid-career shift for me as a teacher: realizing that how I return feedback to students is way more important than what the feedback actually is
In other words, no matter how much time/effort I spend on the feedback itself, it doesn't matter if I'm not intentional about how students receive it

This is such an important book. I recommend it as a key read this month.
There are many lessons from it, all critical for our daughters, nieces, aunts, grandmas, mothers, sisters, friends, partners.
Women make up half the world’s population. Half. It is time we find ourselves in data.

Loved going to the Edwards School of Business International Women’s Day Gala with my daughter. We met some great leaders and soon-to-be leaders. Enjoyed the keynote, too. Women are amazing. 😊
