Educator and Playwright. Dedicated to students #lovingschool by infusing adolescent education with humanity and joy. Dedicated to theater by sharing inconvenient truths.
I'm struggling to convince colleagues at my #progressiveeducation school that the pedagogy of compliance (credit to Zaretta Hammond) is toxic. Our students thrive when they contribute to the curriculum and learn what matters to THEM. How have you overcome the pedagogy of compliance? #EduSky

So much well-deserved talk of empathy lately. Empathy is knowing that kids #lovingschool means centering Urgency, Individuality, and Community. #Edusky #progressiveeducation

For teachers who want students to be #lovingschool, I recommend you read and act on "Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain" by Zaretta Hammond. Be a "warm demander"!
