I look forward to learning alongside you in this journey called Cohort21. See you on Saturday.

I’m not suprised that getting student’s motivated beyond the leaderboard is a challenge. Gameof5 looks intriguing and I would love to know more tomorrow.

What a thoughtful and interesting topic.

Gathering data and ongoing evidence of student learning is
fundamental to effective and inclusive instructional planning. That being said, feedback is more powerful than grades; Let students learn to amplify that.

Empathizing with students before public speaking can make a huge difference in their fear of standing in front of their peers. Empathy has the ability to feel another person’s emotions as if they are your own. In many ways, being empathic is a gift, because it allows you to fully experience, understand, and support…Read more
