Now what?

6/22/2020

 
       Today is Monday and I don't know what to do.
          Last week and most previous Mondays, we started the week with a Zoom meeting of Advisory students called "Weekly Preview". That is when we made announcements (the details of which were emailed by the principal on Sunday evening) and often I shared screen to show the upcoming academic tasks on the school website that I helped to design in early-April.

But today I don't have to update that webpage, or send an email reminder to my 13 advisees (10-11 of whom regularly attended from their living rooms, kitchens, & bedrooms at 9AM), or bring a cup of tea downstairs to my basement workspace . <-- that deserves its own blog post

It's only 7:30 so I've got time to figure myself out for the day.

    Who is this flipping guy?!

       Andrew Swan has survived 20 full years of teaching middle school (currently grade 8 US Civics/Government in a Boston suburb). Previously he taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English, US History, geography, and ancient history in Massachusetts and Maine. 
      For the past 7 years, Andrew has flipped nearly all his direct instruction to give more class time for simulations, deep discussions, analyzing primary sources, etc. ... and also to promote mastery for students at all levels.
      His wonderful wife and his 2 high school-age children indulge Andrew's blogging, tweeting, & other behaviors. These include co-moderating the #sschat Twitter sessions and Facebook page. 
      ​Andrew does not always refer to himself in the third-person.
