What are you reading recently that you would like to recommend: SMART goals are not so smart: make a PACT instead - found at https://nesslabs.com/smart-goals-pact. Reimagining goal setting with this perspective is how the iEval team has been doing it for years, so this acronym spoke to me and could be helpful to other educators and evaluators.
Favorite teacher-facing resource: I find the Search Institute's philosophy, surveys, and teaching resources to be extremely helpful, particularly in today's society where social-emotional learning needs to be integrated into all other curricular areas. Resources can be found at https://www.search-institute.org.
Favorite student and/or family-facing resource: Generation Genius has imaginative science and math activities. Teachers can also pull some lessons from these resources, but many are straight-forward enough to do at home. There are videos to guide through the lessons, lists of materials, and even assessment materials. I particularly like Introduction to Sound for K-2nd grades.
