This is so important and just by doing some of these it will make school, your classroom and education in general so much more enjoyable for the student.

This is so important! If our students understand that what they are learning is important then they will have motivation to do it and to do it well. https://t.co/RGmO7ZHvLB

In class, we learned that motivation equals expectancy times value. This is why it is so crucial that we make sure our students understand the value of what they are learning or they will not have the motivation to do the work #PSY347 #howtodoit

#PSY347 #howtodoit If you want to keep your students motivated then making lessons exciting and getting students to enjoy learning will improve motivation. Make sure that your students are motivated!

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #ahamoment In my practicum I can see which studnets are motivated and which ones are not. I can see that they just space out and are not focused on their work. It is interesting to see how motivation looks in different students.

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #taooftheweek Most best benefit from internal/ intrinsic motivation so making sure that school is exciting and engaging is important for keeping that motivation.

I really like this! Younger students need more time to exercise, its helps them focus more and it gets out some of their energy so that they can refocus. Also it reduces stress which is something I know I want in my classroom. https://t.co/BUuYoVlsUJ

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has signed a proposal requiring schools to give more recess time to young students: https://t.co/xU0WQo04Og

I think this is great! Making your classroom less stressful can be so beneficial for your students! Having conversations will create relationships that will build a string classroom community as well! https://t.co/WnZ2QxmLMV

Stress! School can be full of it. As a future teacher, I hope that I am able to have conversations with my students so they know that I am on their side and understand where they are coming from. If I notice students are especially stressed I will try to make my classroom

#PSY347 #howtodoit When creating an assessment I will make sure that it is not only reliable but also valid. Both are extremely important, and I want to create my assessments so that I am setting my students up for success and not failure

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #ahamoment giving an informal assessment can give a teacher a good idea of what his/her students already know. I saw my practicum teacher do one with her students, and it let her know where she needed to start for her lesson

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #taooftheweek it can be hard to create a good assessment but when creating one it needs to be reliable, fair, valid, and practical. If its not then it will not be as successful as it could be

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

I love this! Talking about what the students already know will help their learning so much!! I'm an ESL endorsement and this is important for all kids but especially ELLs. This article does a great job of showing how to use what the already know to help students learn! https://t.co/bfYlHx1g7H

[edutopia @edutopia]

Students learn better when they first access what they already know—and this plays a big role in improving English language learners’ academic literacy. https://t.co/tcOezeNZOc

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

I completely agree, if they are clear then it will be easier for the teacher and especially the students. Creating a positive classroom environment is something you want to do at the start of the year and good expectation can help with that! https://t.co/zr5jgGxcZc

#PSY347 #howtodoit Set up your classroom expectations thoroughly and clearly so that your students know the behavior expected. This creates a positive classroom environment for you and your students.

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #howtodoit I am going to have my students make the class expectations with me. They are more likely to remember them it makes them feel more apart of the class. They are also more likely to follow what they say. I can give them some control on this, which they will like

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #ahamoment In my practicum I got to see how the Kounin’s Strategies we talked about were used. I saw group alerting and overlapping. It was an Aha moment because the teacher had almost no problems in her class. It was nice to see how these would work in a real classroom.

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #taooftheweek If you want less misbehavior in your classroom, make sure there is not a lot of down time, where there is nothing going on. That is when students are going to get into trouble, have things already set up so the down time is minimal

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

We need to have these conversations! We can't be afraid of them. Personally I think that we can get over our own biases revolving race if we are more open to these types of conversation. Everyone will benefit from talking about their own race as well as learning about other races https://t.co/fijdebGxMm

[Education Week @educationweek]

When white teachers avoid conversations about race, we marginalize students of color.

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

I completely agree with this! I think that it is very important because kids needs to be able to learn things for themselves. It also teaches good cooperative skills, and it makes the students' understand priority. https://t.co/pizv4fYk7M

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #howtodoit In my future classroom I want part of it to be learner center instruction. So I plan on letting my students take control during certain areas and activities. Cooperative learning will be a large part of my classroom environment

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #ahamoment I wrote a lesson plan this week, and I wrote it using the backwards design. I started with what I wanted my students to attain from the lesson, i used the standards for this. I never thought about how I wrote them, until talking about planning instruction

[Alexis Redmond @AlexisRRedmond]

#PSY347 #taooftheweek Whether we know it or not, we are all bias towards something. So finding out what you are bias towards can be really beneficial especially for teacher. The more we know about our biases the more we can do to prevent them.
