I love this #ChoiceBoard for 2 reasons:
1) it breaks away from the 3x3 format that so many use (without much reason)
2) it has reasons for each of the 4 columns in a way that feels a lot like a HyperDoc

It turns out there’s a different way to give feedback that works a lot better, a way of flipping its focus from the past to the future.

Here are my 4 things for all educators to live by in 2019:
1. Your mental well-being is more important than ANYTHING
2. Talk, share, connect & collaborate
3. Your family is more important than your job
4. You make a difference in the lives of everyone you work with every day

School lunch matters! It really does. So why not hire a chef to lead the charge, serve real food from real farms, nix processed food? That what Mpls Public Schools did. Other districts take note! It's doable! It's not more expensive! Kids do better! See for yourself:

It’s fast becoming a winter sport in Minnesota- at least indoors. In tonight’s Finding Minnesota, how a local family is revolutionizing log rolling with an invention of their own. And why the Olympics could be on the horizon. @WCCO
