In anticipation & celebration of @taylorswift13’s #TorturedPoets release, my ELA colleague created “The Tortured Poets Department: Mrs. Gildersleeve’s Version” bulletin board with some educated guesses on poet & poem connections based on song titles alone!
ALT Mrs. Ally Gildersleeve stands in front of a bulletin board. It has 20 portraits of poets. Each has a caption describing a potential connection to one of the song titles.

Every assessment I do is accompanied by a learning memo where the student explains how they demonstrated the learning.
1⃣ It supports me when assessing
2⃣It ensures students reflect on learning
3⃣It serves as a barrier to AI replacing learning
Examples: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Mr. Matson’s students give a visual representation of Grendel using evidence from the text to support their artistic choices. High level thinking and high level of student engagement!
Mrs. Taylor’s world history class discussing the connections between 1920s and today using cards with sentence stems. Love providing students academic language to frame their thoughts!

Jamboard is sunsetting in 2024. 🌅
But that’s OK, because ... Have you met FigJam yet???
It’s a FREE online whiteboard. A collaborative brainstorming powerhouse for your classroom!
What can you do with it? So. MUCH!

Mr. Ficker utilized academic teaming strategies so that students collaboratively evaluate differences between federalism & anti-federalism principles.
100% of learners engaged in their learning process!

Thinking outside the box— graphing in English class!
@MrsCasterNWHS English students are graphing diction and tone in various speeches to analyze how speakers shift their tone and diction depending on their audience and purpose.

NWHS’s ASL teacher, Amber Granville, created such a beautiful, warm, inviting classroom— students instantly feel a sense of belonging as soon as they walk into her room 🤍 @nwlocal

It makes me sad when a teacher assistant says “I’m just a para” when they introduce themselves to me…we CANNOT do our jobs without support staff. They are the backbones of our schools. No one is “just” anything on your staff. Make sure your support staff feel encouraged & loved.

As you begin a new school year, you might ask your students this question I learned from @ernestmorrell: "What does it mean to get better at reading?" Maybe chart their responses.

Leaders, if you aren’t vested in staff morale, you aren’t vested in school culture.
* Empower teachers w/ voice/ input
* Trust them as professionals
* Treat everyone as individuals
* Respect their time
* Show them you care personal/professional
* Celebrate all successes
