Teachers: what’s your eval process like? I’m in a right-to-work state w/ no union power + a complex system that feels disconnected from real teaching. Is this common? Any best practices or wins where you are? #Edusky #Eduskychat #Education #TeacherTalk #teachereval

Shared with permission from my student to highlight 3 things. 1) as much as we’re going through it, the children are GOING THROUGH IT 2) Choosing grace has never made me ashamed. The paper was stunning. 3) if you’re turning something in a month late, this is how you do it 😂

Screenshot of an email that reads Good Morning, Mrs. Bond
FINALLY!!! Thank you so much for allowing me the time to turn this in. While a more responsible student would have this turned in earlier, and probably with better quality. I am not that student. Lately I feel like my life has fallen apart and l've lost interest in a lot of things I used to love to do. If I had it my way, I would sleep until nighttime and then just stare at the ceiling in the dark to simulate sleeping. All this to say thank you for your effort. It is not every day where someone demands to hear my thoughts. It is more often where people ask me to shut up. Sometimes the things I say are nonsense, (well most of the time that is exactly what I am saying) but you've never told me that my thoughts weren't worth the time. While it was probably not ideal to wait an extra month for an assignment, I am completely grateful for the opportunity and time. I am even more grateful for your class, being my anchor and holding me to a reality that seems familiar. Thank you so much for being my teacher!! I think everyone deserves to know how important they are, so I suppose this email doubles as a reminder that you are important!!

#EduSkyChat A1. How can we work to view kids as kids not special education or general education when we can’t even view ourselves as just teachers? Is this an important point?

For years, much research has confirmed the importance of including students with disabilities — benefitting non disabled students too. (Yet, as long as we continue to separate students out as special ed and general ed, we will carry on with upholding segregated systems of delivery.) #EduSky

npr.org

Special ed students benefit from being integrated at school. It doesn't always happen

Research shows including students with and without disabilities in the same classroom can benefit everyone. Two students with Down syndrome show what can be gained when that happens.

When you see your babies (former students) become taller-than-you versions of themselves (high schoolers), you marvel at the craft of human development. And you marvel at the laggard way with which you retrieve their names from your rusting Rolodex as you chat & smile real big. #Teacherlife #EduSky
