It’s the end of the year and we all need a project that will keep students engaged! This end of the year project creating walk-up songs for historical figures was a huge hit with students. Are your students climbing the walls? It’s all I can do after standardized testing is over to keep my students from going crazy. If I hear “can I go to the restroom” one more time, I might pull my hair out.

As students move through a lesson, some acquire information and skills more quickly than others. Some students will need additional support, scaffolds, feedback, or reteaching to understand key concepts and apply specific strategies, processes, or skills. We must collect formative assessment data in each lesson to understand our students’ progress and respond to their needs.

They say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we’re disturbing the war. — Howard Zinn Calls for “campus safety” fill the mainstream media airwaves as students around the country speak out against the unfolding genocide in Gaza. Yes, safety at school is important — for everyone. But here it is twisted into a cudgel to cancel speeches, enact police violence, and otherwise suppress the voices of students and educators of conscience.

Two years ago, when I visited Westwood High School in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix, every incoming freshman started the year in a very unusual way. Back when my mom attended Westwood in the early 80s, students made the typical walk from class to class, learning from one teacher in math and another for English or history or science. (My mom was one of two girls in Westwood’s woodworking class.

I grew up in extreme poverty. The ability to access a free, high-quality education in North Texas changed my life. I benefited greatly from the ways community colleges meet students where they are and wrap their arms around them. Classes were small, and I had a clear sense of belonging, despite being the first in my family to go to college. I still remember having deep discussions with my English professor about author Larry McMurtry.

They’d need to make do with haphazard plans for distance learning through the end of the school year — perhaps longer. For most educators, the pandemic was a defining moment in their careers, a situation more disruptive than they could’ve imagined.

Anxiety is everywhere. But even when we feel it, we can still be of use to the children we're with. When you feel it, when your heart races, when things are elevating, turn your attention to your feet, to how they feel on the ground. Turn your attention to the child you are with, to the entirety of what they are doing/saying. Listen for stillness. This can feel very uncomfortable the first few times we try to do it.

There is an underground cave called Doteul in the dark overgrowth of Dongbak-Dongsan forest in Guija-eup, in central Jeju Island. If not for the narrow constructed road and guideposts for tourists, it would be almost impossible to find the cave. When Korea was engulfed in the violence of the Cold War in 1948, Doteul cave served as a hiding place and safe haven for villagers, since only the villagers with intimate knowledge of the area could find the cave.
