Thank you for sharing Coreys story! I suffered childhood trauma and some of my teachers along the years saved me and made such an impact in my life. Thank you for being that person, the person that takes an extra moment to listen..to observe..to love. Thanks for being a great human!

Love this!!! I hope to make an impact on one student throughout my teaching career! What a blessing you were to this student, and the connection you had with him made such an impact in his life. I am so impressed with his determination, heart, and strength to show up and change his life for the better!

Comment on Five Problems with the Traditional Grading System and Why Standards-Based Grading is a Better Alternative by Glenda

I grew up with the ten point grading scale and then moved to the seven point. The standard base is new to me and I would prefer the 10 point scale over it.

Absolutely love this post. I’m ashamed to say there was a time when I was a hater, and that was too tiring. SO after I decided to go on this journey of self curation, I became like you- wanting to surround myself with people who would inspire me- to do more, to be more & to live more! I did lose a lot of those negative friends but I’m ok with that.
I’m much happier now, I know that I am more than enough.

This article well-explains why dumping the SAT/ACT for university admissions does a disservice to many students, especially non-white students who are extremely likely to have mostly white high school teachers who grew up with different cultural presumptions than those of the students they teach.

University admissions are scarcity-founded – more people want admission to specific Universities than seats exist for those students. Manzano’s column clearly exposes that there are few norms for high school teachers’ grading rubrics. How to compare kids who are competing for admission to high-demand Universities without some norming way to compare the applicants? This article underscores that GPA to GPA often is more subjective than objective testing standards, especially at the highest ends of the competition pools.

Comment on ‘Starbucks’ Your Classroom by Ana Canjura

I think this will greatly benefit my classroom. There are a between 27- 30 students in the classroom and just everything seems to be crammed and misbehavior results. I am a bit hesitant too ask the principal or assistant principal. I think this will be a wonderful birthday present for me. Just seeing the students have more space and be calm while they learn.
