"new rules for teachers (11-20)
11. technology is not the magic secret to academic success; put a bunch of ipads in the
classroom, watch the teacher spend of his time managing the ipads rather than teach the
class.
12. all teachers must have unit plans; this includes teachers of autism students, severe and
profound, incarcerated students or the physically disabled.
13. all students must be assessed; this includes students who are visually impaired,
hearing impaired, cognitively delayed, or those with autism.
14. students should read the unit plan just as college students read the syllabus; kids need
to know where the instruction is headed and what the assessments will be.
15. if you treat kids as if they are in prison they will act like inmates.
16. parents must know the grade level their kids are at, in reading, writing and math,
forget grades! teacher grades are generally meaningless; cruel, harsh truth is the best
medicine.
17. students must be taught to monitor their progress in a class, in relation to the common
core standards, not just the teachers' grade book.
18. the whole point of the assessment is to determine the extent of student learning, not to
trick them into being wrong!
19. when a teacher or other staff member stands by the time clock everyday, just waiting for
the moment when they can punch out and go home, they are yelling out loud their
commitment to the children.
20. differentiation does not mean dumbed down!"
