Having a relationship first with your students means that when you give them feedback, they receive it from a place of trust and not harm. Y’all I got receipts to prove it.

The way students receive information (reels, posts, shorts, etc) is really impacting their ability to engage in academic discourse. How can we increase the noise in our classrooms? I am struggling. With all of the craziness happening I NEED my students to think critically about wht they r taking in.

Not sure who needs to hear this but a resume is not a curriculum vitae😩 It would have so much easier if I continued to update my CV instead of resume over the 24 years I’ve been in education. My brain hurts y’all😩.
