For those of you that know me, I'm 100% real at all times. Sure I'm prone to retweet and post gifs but I love to laugh as much as I love content. Last night my grandmother passed away w #COVID19 .. I'm thankful for all that she gave us but quite raw. I'll be back in a few days.

Just a reminder for those who needed to see it, rigor doesn’t necessarily mean bell to bell instruction. Bell to bell instruction and rigor are not equivalent to just piling on more work. A packet is still a packet regardless if it is digitized Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Students in #Texas have been testing for approximately 3 weeks. If you add in the 10+ days that campuses add in for the review time before the exam and the additional time that MAP testing (not every campus takes them) .. there has to be something better. #education
