Weekly Inspo Vids - Week Thirty Seven
Hey friends,
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I hope you’ve found some fun and meaningful ways to recognize the amazing work your teachers are doing every day. Whether it’s a heartfelt note, a sweet treat, or a staff celebration, even the smallest gestures go a long way. To add a little extra joy to the week, we’re bringing back a video we've shared before—something we've never done until now. It’s a light-hearted, over-the-top take on what teaching could look like in a dream world. And let’s be honest—it’s fun to imagine!
On a more practical note, we’ve also included an excellent, bite-sized PD resource this week focused on mid-lesson formative assessments. This is such an essential skill for teachers to develop—not just for checking understanding, but for adapting instruction on the fly and keeping learning on track. It's designed to be easily shared and implemented, so feel free to forward it to your staff or include it in your next team meeting.
And this week’s email is entirely free. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I appreciate each one of you and the work that you put into your schools. Keep it up!
Cheers!

Looking for a quick way to know if students are actually getting it during a teacher’s lesson? Hinge questions are short, strategic check-ins that reveal understanding—and misunderstanding—at just the right moment. This week’s Emailable PD walks your teachers through what they are and gives clear examples for elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. Whether used in math, science, or ELA, hinge questions can help teachers respond to student thinking right when it matters most.
