    What is Differentiation?

    Differentiation is proving to be the number one area of refinement for teachers in the state of Texas in the T-TESS appraisal platform. What does that mean? It means teachers are not varying their lessons to capture and connect with their students well enough and consequently students are feeling disconnected from the schools. In this episode we discuss what truly is differentiation and how we as teachers can better serve our students needs.

    Be Curious, Not Judgemental

    In a follow up to last week's episode about "Why We Teach?", I find myself asking more questions about this subject. So we explore the experiences you are creating for your students and what you are getting out of this on a daily basis. Are you looking at others asking how they do what they do? Are you creating memories for yourself and your students or are you just saying you can't do this because of X, Y , and Z. This week we channel our inner Ted Lasso and ask you to BE CURIOUS....NOT JUDGEMENTAL! Help your students create these memories and ask questions along the journey!
