Have you looked at C3 inquiries? Also more DBQ based but SHEG has great resources too.

I agree about SHEG and thank you for letting me know about C3 inquiries, it looks amazing!

Also I don’t know if you have access to Discovery Ed or DBQ Project but those are two other great resources.

In my class, we use project based learning and assessments. I believe that it is important to switch it up. I've used DBQ projects, essays, podcasts, plays, game creations, presentations, and videos.

CDC’s announcement today: “The CDC provided a roadmap for reopening schools during the pandemic, emphasizing mask wearing and social distancing. Vaccination of teachers is important but not a prerequisite. The CDC said there's strong evidence in-person schooling can be done safely.” What are your thoughts? Our district in Texas (Houston area) has had F2F - with remote as alternative - since August!!! Masks required, but no social distancing in classrooms (can’t with 28 or more). Thoughts?

What are you planning to implement this school year to focus on equity in your own classroom or campus wide?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I am a California teacher looking to relocate. My son is pushing for Boerne. I have spent most of my life in small private Christian schools and loved it! When I moved to public school the large class sizes and trauma/sped students filling my classroom burned me out. I moved to homeschool this year (with my same district) and love it!!! I am curious about teaching in Texas. Class sizes, special ed, private school, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

How have you used plickers in the classroom? Is this a daily part of anyone’s lesson?
