If we ever get through this crisis caused by authoritarian fascism, we could use clean-up time for children to expect to take initiative to care for themselves, the other, and the community and not simply obey.
We can print and post examples of what we say to students about clean-up.

Something profound is amiss in descriptions of teaching. On the one hand we have learning that we see in ourselves and slow changes we see in others. On the other hand, when we try to project how to teach, it’s unclear what to do or say. The manner of teaching is missing.

This group has many folks who teach about ed assessment. I want to share this:
Four Big Questions
1. Who cares about the results?
2. What can we see?
3. What does that information mean?
4. What can we do about it?
Need all four addressed in any plan.
