This book contains all I could offer to others trying to make their assessment practices better match what we know about student motivation.

Today is the release day, and I would be so grateful if you would retweet this.

So proud of my former UTeach-Liberal Arts student who is now an amazing first year teacher!

Curious after talking to friends in other states. How many classes does your high school student take? How long is their school day?

I keep thinking of this reflection from one of my students on Monday. I’m teaching future teachers and future system changers. That’s what keeps me energized.

“Why am I here? Why am I doing this? What motivates me?” Professor Dille teaches 202 students ways they can stay connected to their reasons for teaching. #mywhy #OurTeachersChangetheWorld

Every semester my students - future teachers - design their ideal classroom set up and write a reflection. This semester I asked them to answer 'How have you made sure the space is accessible for all bodies?' Their answers are so thoughtful and give me such hope.

Changing your body to chase the beauty standard will never bring you freedom. It only reinforces the oppressive hierarchy of bodies in our society.

When we give up the chase, we are not giving up on ourselves. We are setting ourselves free.

In doing so, we free everyone else.

Kind of surreal to be in a high school gym watching my own kid perform after cheering on other people’s high school kids/my students over the last 22 years. Having my own high school kid always seemed so far away.

'We cannot solve anti-fat bias by making fat kids thin. Our current approach only teaches them that trusted adults believe the bullies are right — that a fat body is just a problem to solve. That’s not where the conversation about anyone’s health should begin.'

What do you do if your Amazon package says delivered, but the tracking shows it was delivered to someone else in another state?

Looking for suggestions of articles/blogs/podcasts NOT by white educators that examine the practices of grading in schools. Suggestions?
