Weekly Inspo Vids - Week Forty
Hi friends,
Can you believe it? We’re in the second-to-last week of school here in Oregon—and that means it’s also the second-to-last edition of our newsletter for the year! Whether you’re already on summer break or just about to cross the finish line with us, I hope you’re feeling that bittersweet mix of exhaustion and pride that comes with wrapping up another school year.
This week’s edition includes a heartwarming, high-quality video that’s sure to lift your spirits, and our PD spotlight is especially timely: it focuses on getting students to rephrase their learning. It’s a simple, effective way to help reinforce understanding—perfect for these final days when attention spans are running on fumes.
After next week, keep an eye out for our annual survey. And the fun won’t stop there! You’ll continue to hear from us throughout the summer as we plan for next year!
Cheers!

Ever give directions and hear, “Wait, what are we supposed to do?” Rephrasing is a simple, powerful habit that helps students process—not just repeat—what they’ve heard or read. When they can say it their way, they’re showing you what they truly understand. This week, we’re building that habit into everyday learning moments.
