@mmveled And knowing this is happening is so important for their self-worth and happiness in general.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@BrittanyBrophy1 And so important not to assume what students have and don't have going on for them in their home lives.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@MillikenMeghan And using different forms of assessments is great for testing different ways of understanding!

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@mmveled Everyone has a different way of being motivated and it can be so useful to find out you students motivations.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@BrittanyBrophy1 Agreed! This is so important for the students to know daily.

Knowing what motivates your students and drives them allows you to be a better teacher. #PSY347 #AHAMoment

Being your students biggest fan while also being the teacher you need is so important. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

Self-worth is something that mainly comes from inside you, you can boost your kids self esteem by using correct policies and helping your kids feel great about themselves. #PSY347 #HowToDoIt

Interesting look at teacher evaluations #PSY347

[Education Week @educationweek]

Teacher evaluations have dramatically changed the principal's job. https://t.co/1rXaZAS3q9

@MissHerbers I think this is so important to realize so that you can mix and match different ways of learning in classrooms.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@DestreeKimberly I agree, I was set in one definition of assessment but now I have many ways that I can test my students learning other than an actual test!

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@AshleyCrouse14 This is so important to be especially in todays age. And you never know what that student has going on in their lives, so be the light in int.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@emily_martire I totally agree. You are not worth just what number you get on an exam, and even if students fail your assignments, make sure they know this at all costs.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@MichaelaLester2 I totally agree. You never want to hope your kids are failing as a teacher, you want to give them everything to succeed.

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@MissScienceNess I think teachers also put the wrong emphasis on peer assessments which doesn't help!

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

interesting article about the changing ways of technology and study habits. #psy347

[Education Week @educationweek]

YouTube puts up $20 million in call for entrepreneurs to create educational content. https://t.co/ZIkyeSmb2G

Be the teacher that kids are so excited to see in the morning. #taooftheweek #psy347

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

Covering students names with tape to make assignments that are graded by peers more anonymous makes for a more honorable system. #ahamoment #psy347

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

I am slightly terrified of peer grading and feedback but I believe if used in the right way and NOT used to grade assignments knowing its another student, it could flourish. #howtodoit #psy347

[Alex Farrell @AlexWFarrell]

@MichaelaLester2 Finding the right mix of these factors is so important to having an inviting and healthy learning culture.
