My Desk This Week
I read a lot of blogs. Actually, I skim a lot of blogs. I use Feedly which seems to work pretty well. It allows me to look at the title and first few lines of a blog, then decide to read it, or move on. It also give me the option to save a blog post I particularly like. I’ve started paying particularly close attention to anything 1 to 1. Today I read a powerful post from Sara Henschell titled, “Humanizing Education: A manifesto on wanting more and working less.” A very powerful read on giving kids ownership of a classroom and not using the test as the be all end all. We just ended our THREE WEEKS of testing and this post really resonated with me, especially after a student asked me yesterday, “Why are you still taking grades after the tests are finished.” I really encourage you to read this now, then again at the beginning of the school year.
