Guess what? National Opposite Day is Jan 25! 🔀 How about this for flipping the script: instead of waiting until high school for career exploration, start in middle school! Tune into our latest podcast featuring Julie Lammers from @Britebound sharing resources for educators and guardians to help middle schoolers explore who they are, what they love, what they are good at, and what the world needs. ➡️ow.ly/2pir50Y1Lu4 Thanks as always to our always to our wonderful podcast hosts, @PFagell & Jessica McGuire, for helping us deliver these valuable resources to our membership!

Understanding trauma will help you better understand many of your students. This session is a beginner session on trauma. We will discuss what is trauma, the ACE survey, and how you can become a trauma-informed educator. forms.gle/1Y1R7YgYJgPYAryp8

Thanks @rickwormeli2 for reminding us of this. @InTheMiddleMMSA
Biggest take away from yesterday: Each student below would get a “grade” of 70%. When we use averages to grade, we let weaknesses overshadow strengths. Stop penalizing students for what they haven’t learned YET and start giving them credit for the learning they carry forward.
