SQ3R is a strategy for reading and studying. It is a sequence designed to increase retention and understanding by encouraging the reader to use each stage of the reading process intentionally, moving from small details to large ideas and back again. https://t.co/YxaRZRSZDT

Allowing students to take control of their education gives them the tools to be more successful. Relinquishing control in some areas makes students more receptive to instruction, keeps them engaged, and makes them more willing to take on challenges. https://t.co/9qn7YYBMP4

With the 3-2-1 strategy, you might ask someone to name 3 of favorite genres of music, 2 favorite songs, and 1 pattern they noticed making that list; or 3 causes of pollution, 2 solutions, and 1 thing a person can do every day to help immediately. https://t.co/Z85WelpZiA

Central idea escape room was a success!!! They had so much fun! The engagement was on point and their level of thinking impressed me so much! Some got hints, others didn’t. But in the end, they worked so hard and left more tired than me for once! 😂

Sometimes, all they need is a 5 minute mental break. The mental check-ins have been a huge success for my students. Often, we forget that it is hard being an adolescent.

@emilysparkles @teacher2teacher I’d be honored!!!! I#

@teacher2teacher #T2Tchat I will buy my students ice cream just because. And of course because I love hearing them say I am their favorite 🤣

@teacher2teacher The fear of TikTok challenges!

@emilysparkles @teacher2teacher It’s a Google Slide with a scale of 1-10. They slide a “bar” about how they feel premeditation. If they say 5 or below they have to tell me why if they can. Then we mediate for 5 minutes and there is a post mediation scale to do. The difference 5 minutes can make is amazing!

@teacher2teacher Just by the simple text that lets me know I’m not alone especially when dealing with a crazy family, a sick toddler, and the load that comes from just being a teacher

[Alaina Perkins @AlainaPerkins19]

@teacher2teacher #T2TCHAT It is okay to take time for you! Do not feel guilty for needing some personal time! You have to take care of you before you can do right for the kids. You are important too!

[Alaina Perkins @AlainaPerkins19]

@teacher2teacher #T2TCHAT by remembering there is more going on in their personal lives then we realize. Letting them be teenagers and enjoying life!

[Alaina Perkins @AlainaPerkins19]

@teacher2teacher Just those laughable moments with the kids. Or when I make a mistake and laugh at myself. Showing them it’s okay to make mistakes

One of the best things a teacher can do for their students is to find little ways for them to experience success. Success is one of the best motivations there is. It increases the likelihood students will keep working when things get a little tougher.

Mental check in day with some quick meditation.
