English teachers should have an additional prep period for reading and providing feedback on student writing. It takes over 8 hours for a writing teacher with 100 students to read and respond to a typical set of essays - and that's assuming only 5 minutes per essay. #bfc530

One reason people love the 5 paragraph essay is because it reduces writing down to a certain level of formalism educators can identify & grade. Is there a thesis? Are there 3 points? Body paragraphs? blah, blah, blah?

Unpopular opinion? You don’t need nearpod, jamboard, 6 different devices, and a ginormous headache to be a good teacher... 🤗

The first week of school will be focused on helping students and families navigate their new online learning environment and learning how to engage with their teachers. All members of #TeamYCSD are prepared to work with, and support, every student and family. #SchoolYearTechTips
If you’re struggling today don’t worry. The education world is seeing a lot of tears, frustration, and extremely overwhelmed teachers right now. Trust me you’re not alone and those feelings only show how much YOU CARE.

Feeling scared to return to your classroom in the fall doesn’t discredit your love, passion, or dedication for your students. . . . You are allowed to be human while still being an awesome teacher.❤️
