Inspiring read—a great program that gets disadvantaged kids into college! the74million.org/article/access…
Started school this week. I have my students for multiple years. I know my eyes lit up when I saw them for the first time. What was absolutely beautiful was that their eyes reflected mine when they saw me! #edchat

#ELMagChat A7 take time every day to connect with nature, exercise daily (even if only 10 minutes), connect with friends by text or phone every week, turn off all devices at least one hour before bedtime!
#ELMagChat I can't say enough about Challenge Success--if you don't know it, it's a fantastic resource!
#ELMagChat Students and teachers alike need more downtime, longer lunch breaks, and longer than 3 minutes in between classes. A block of non-academic time for students where they are free to just relax or visit teachers or work on homework.
If a student has money, there are booming businesses that will do their homework for them. Talk about an equity issue! MyAssignmentLab guarantees 100% original work so no fear of plagiarism. Lovely. techacute.com/answered-who-c…
Parents, students, educators, concerned citizens - now is the time to spread HOPE.

China’s Ministry of Education is getting serious about reeling in the homework load and prioritizing sleep—very top-down but also very child-centered. Students get more sleep as workload reduced - Chinadaily.com.cn global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202112/23/WS…
@mcleod @MrSchlangen @mctownsley @tguskey @TomSchimmer @john_hattie @SusanBrookhart @realhomeworkldy @kenoc7 @DouglasReeves @rickwormeli2 Retention is not an intervention. See Hattie’s list of influences for the effect size from his meta analysis of this influence. Spoiler: it’s -.32. Not only is it not helpful, retention harms students. They don’t need more of what didn’t work, but instead intervention on skills.

Would we even need explicit SEL programs if we gave students more control over what and how they learn--wouldn't much of SEL develop organically? How do they learn to self-regulate, problem-solve, and set goals when we micro-direct their learning?
Questions we should be asking about homework: "Why do we give everyone the same task when we know learners differ?" "Why not empower students to design their own tasks? "Is it fair to penalize non-completion when home conditions vary?" Should kids work longer than an 8 hour day?"
Joe's response to "If I stop giving points for homework they won't do it!" "Once teachers explicitly reconnect the purpose of homework--to practice and prepare for the assessment--to more successful results on the assessment, intrinsic motivation reawakens in students"
Great perspective on late penalties--that we incentivize "on time" to the detriment of learning.
From Joe Feldman's book About the commodity of grades: "We preach the gospel of learning but we make students genuflect to the altar of points"
"W/the kindest of motives, Ts offer lightning-fast rescues to struggling lrnrs." Xtra credit is often that rescue meant to save drowning lrnrs. XC undercuts motive to prsist. Combined w/1 time high-stakes grdng prac that report pnts for evrythng, it's no wonder lrns sit&wait 4 XC

@ELmagazine A4: In our article we give several examples of how to use the schedule to improve well-being. Small schedule tweaks, like increasing passing periods by just a few minutes, can dramatically reduce student stress #ELMagChat
A1: One concept often missed in teacher well-being is that Ed should be our profession — not our entire identity. Not what dominates our time. Not residual stress in our homes. Love the work but give permission to leave work AT work #ElMagChat

Seeing many posts about how teachers shouldn't be grading work/learning during eLearning time. Many cite access and equity as primary reasons. My question is, why is it ok to assign and grade work done at home during normal school time? Access and equity remain an issue.
A great time to look at what is truly essential!!
I read an educational post saying that with all that’s going on, our focus now needs to be on learning, not grades. This says a lot about our current values in education- shouldn’t our focus in education always be on learning rather than grades? #ThoughtForTheDay #edchat
Advice from a student about homework in a standards-based class: cvulearnsblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/workin… @realhomeworkldy #sblchat
This is so true. Zeros do not motivate kids, they devastate them.
Rethinking homework—what drives learning is not points or zeros, but a student’s sense of mastery, autonomy, and purpose. #ohedchat
Allow choice in homework by giving students more than one option to reach the learning goal, or let them design their own method for practicing a learning task. #ohedchat

@tweinbrenner448 @realhomeworkldy 2) ...so, a focus on FA w/ intervals of SA for verification strikes the right balance. "Delaying grading until mastery" = ideal, but it is a choice (not required) aspect of SBG. SBG is about accuracy of "grades based on standards" & while mastery is desirable, not always achieved
