@Bsw71Harvey @plugusin @jcgallaher Assign an INCOMPLETE!!! Incompletes must exist to accurately reflect assignment. It might mean illness, apathy, concussion…But, it must mean something. A 0 is so arbitrary and it’s used because we don’t have anything else. Don’t mean it’s right, just, or effective.
If the assessment doesn't inform your teaching practice or inform your student's learning, there is no point in giving it. I said it.
What you believe about struggling students changes everything about your interactions with those kids. Why would we work hard to find solutions for the kids that we think are "lazy" or "irresponsible" or "not trying" or "uninterested." #uncomfortabletruth
I'd suggest that whenever you have a student with tons of missing work, you should survey them to figure out what is preventing them from keeping up. Here's a survey you can use: docs.google.com/document/d/1Ei… Taking action depends on gathering information, not making assumptions.
Having 96% of your students on grade level is a fantastic accomplishment for everyone in your school and community except the 4% who are still struggling, y'all. #allmeansALL
The notion that "some kids don't try" drives me nuts. It becomes an excuse that we use to stop asking questions and finding solutions for the students who struggle the most in our schools. Not trying is a symptom. Go find the cause and address it.
@plugusin Poverty for so many of our students and the trauma surrounding their situations makes it appear as if students don’t care, or are choosing to fail. There’s so much work that needs to be done to dismantle the harmful systems in our society.
The most important action that any teacher takes is believing that all students want to succeed -- including those who struggle the most in your classrooms. When you don't believe in your students, it changes everything about your interactions with those kids.
@plugusin A lot of those kids aren't good in reading and math and are beat down by test scores. Those are the kids who will probably end up in skilled trades and be very successful. We have to keep reinforcing to them that they have a lot to offer the world.

📊 A zero should never be a proxy for missing work/data. It's not only harmful to kids, but it's also poor math/measurement. Missing isn't evidence of no learning. It's just no evidence. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
There is no such thing as a kid who "chooses to fail." The kid you think is "choosing to fail" is struggling with challenges and needs your help. Helping all students learn starts with believing in every kid.
The best schools spend LESS time talking about their passing rates and MORE time talking about the kids who aren't passing. Our job is to create learning spaces that are responsive to the needs of the kids who need us the most. #trudatchat
Back in the office, looking forward to a full day of learning with our @SolutionTree NY Cohort! We are off to a great start with @plugusin - Using Tech to Support Teaching and a Learning. And, we just leaned that @plugusin student-taught @HFLCSD! 🖤💛
What if in education we regularly began the conversation with “what if we tried?” @plugusin @SolutionTree
@plugusin Trying it with Elementary Principals today. Looking forward to hearing their dialogues!
@plugusin I love it! Very explicit and guides teams exactly where they need to go! Great job! @TurnerTurner71
Some personal news. Hug your people tight. #nced
@plugusin Agreed bro...I always say...NO ONE shows up to a place 180 days in a year to be miserable...no one.
These 3 amazing educators were my first hires 13 years ago. They helped create an incredible school! Thank you!
Our Braids and Fades program gives students who want it free braids and haircuts! Look good and focus on learning! Thank you to everyone who donated @Nelba_MG @anagraceproject @plugusin
@plugusin This would be a valuable workshop - working with educators in a district to revise their pacing guides to allow for responsiveness to student learning/lack thereof.
@plugusin @SolutionTree Thank you for all of your support, Bill! @mattwight you started all of this - grateful for you as always, too!
