Editor's Notes
- This is another year, like no other….In school education ended on March 18, 2020 , so this is the first time in 17 months, or approximately 510 days. We have 2020-2021 new staff who have never worked in the building with their colleagues, and now we have lots of new colleagues, more than we have ever had before….16 new teachers, paras, counselor, reading corps and math corps.
- When thinking about your social emotional health, our collective social emotional health, and the social emotional health of our students, we are in this together. You are the leader in your classroom, you are the most powerful person in your students’ lives at school on a daily basis, you are the pebble which will start the ripple.
- Exactly...this reinforces high expectations. Our students come with many, many gifts and talents. Each student is full of knowledge and experiences. This knowledge may not be the knowledge that shows up on our literacy assessments, yet each is gifted and extremely knowledgable. Our students may not know what we would hope (coming from a typical middle class family) YET….however, they know more than as middle class teachers, we can accurately quantify.
- Talk with your table. What thoughts do you have about Matt running the drill? How does this relate to productive struggle? It’s hard. It pulls at our heart strings. Who benefits and who is marginalized when we fail to provide opportunities for productive struggle.
