Students can get through the "steps" of the problem. However, when you ask them to clarify what their answer means, they struggle. So did they really understand the problem or just the steps? youtube.com/shorts/k-p_Y-I…

With the school year approaching, consider adding this to your first-few-days-of-school-discussions. Ask your students who their previous favorite teacher was & why. Then send an email to all the teachers mentioned. It will make their day! youtube.com/shorts/n88ierz…

A great theme for districts this upcoming school year would be "Back to the Basics" embodying exactly what Brian just said.

The genius of great teaching lies in its simplicity. The tragedy of modern education is how complex we’ve made it. To be truly great, a teacher must resist the noise of fads, trends, and buzzwords—and return to the art of simplifying everything.

School should be a place kids want to go, a place staff want to be, and a place families trust and are proud to send their kids.

If you have served in public education for 20 years or more, this post is for you. You are part of the roughly 28% who entered public-school teaching and were still in the profession two decades later. So for the veteran teachers and staff who have served for 20 years, 25 years, 30 years, and beyond, this is to celebrate you! You have endured some of the most difficult changes education has ever faced. You witnessed standardized testing grow into an overwhelming system of high-stakes pressure, excessive data collection, and constant documentation. You adapted to new standards, new technology, new programs, and an endless cycle of initiatives. You carried students and families through COVID, even while facing your own fears, losses, and uncertainty. You have watched respect for educators decline while expectations continued to rise. You have been asked to do more with less, solve problems you did not create, and meet needs that extend far beyond the classroom. And yet, you continued to show up. You taught the lesson again. You encouraged the struggling student. You supported the overwhelmed colleague. You welcomed the nervous parent. You kept schools functioning during some of the toughest years education has ever experienced. Most people will never fully understand what it takes to dedicate decades of your life to serving students, families, and communities. They will never know how many evenings, weekends, personal dollars, and pieces of your heart you have invested. There are adults walking through the world today who are stronger, wiser, and more confident because you once believed in them. To every teacher and staff member who has served for 20 years or more: Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for caring for our children. Thank you!

Teachers Don't Need Another Initiative. They Need Us. After 35 years in education, here's what I know: Teachers don't leave because they stopped caring. They leave because they cared so deeply for so long without feeling supported themselves. We ask them to teach, mentor,

AND are we then going to test every subject ... so that Art, Foreign Language and Math are all held equally accountable? Too many holes. Good teachers often get hired for other in-house leadership roles like Cluster Chair and/or are considered first when a new club is introduced, etc.

@DanOCone ... booking doctor appointments, starting physical therapy again, cleaning that house that was completely let go during the year, AND prepping for all the new changes for next year AND prepping to change what didn't work the previous year.
