Had a discussion with coworkers on improving grades. Talked about the idea of grading effort over accuracy. As well as improving grades overall with a low-key hint at micromanaging.

Half way thru the last week of winter break. Back in the classroom next Monday. I’ve laid out a magazine for the campus and redesigned the overlays for the esports team. #nevernotworking

Well #cite2025 was a cool 24hrs. It was cool to hear SDCOE and LACOE talk about how they support esports. Plus how SD’s moto is para los estudiantes.
Student focus support and projects like esports.

This #teacher needs help, helping out our school library. We have a #manga thief and I want to help them get back on track.

Is that you?

Been thinking that this esports battle I’ve been on since 2018 is at a a stalemate. AD said in a roundabout way that esports isn’t going to be recognize in the sporting realm.
Support for what I do comes off as not genuine. Good job, keep it going. Yet no one shows up for my kids.

Another PD day in the books. We were introduced to techniques from 2001 that we should implement to increase ownership in student work.
Interesting…

#teacher thought of the day.
First PD day is tomorrow and we are being introduced to personality test for students.

But thinking about it why should we let a test dictate what our students want to be in life? Some students are still discovering their personality and next move..

Gonna be honest. It’s been a bit tough trying to be creative as of late. It’s like I told the wifey I feel exhausted.
So going thru the steps and trying to make time to get a sketch in here and there.
Only a few more weeks of being in the classroom and hopefully an energy rest.
Enjoy these sketches

I didn’t make it to WonderCon this year, but that didn’t stop me from getting into the spirit of it! My son and I took a trip back in time today, watching the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons—Inspired by that, I had to break out the sketch cards and put pencil to paper!

A1: I am a CTE teacher from California that’s been in the scholastic esports scene since 2018.
Low-key the Atari hooked me as a kid, but Super Mario on the NES started the love of video games.

Sweet! It’s something that I’m currently dealing with and trying to teach my kiddos to stand up for themselves and be proud of our program and what we do for our campus.

Has there been a convo on bullying?
