In every school, there are staff getting positive results with the same students about whom other teachers say, “Nothing works with these kids.”

Use these questions from Responding to Resistance to help you learn from “positive deviants” in your school. https://t.co/SK72GhZDmR

March was a rough one. I wasn't able to write as much as I would have liked, but I still put together my monthly round up! #TBR

The way in which we deliver feedback matters. It contributes to the type of school culture & climate we are building at our sites. This is foundational but a great reminder to keep it positive & growth focused. #edutwitter #teachertwitter #k12edu #instructionalcoach

The 'I like, I noticed, I wonder' feedback format shown here allows leaders to celebrate the best practices going on in classrooms and still push forward teachers’ practice through self-reflection.

@teacher2teacher Who ever said warm ups have to be content? My warm-ups are always SEL. It helps with that transition time and allows Ss sometime to show up mentally before having to dive into content. Sometimes I even need that time to show up.

@teacher2teacher Before talking shop, you have to build those relationships. Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast. This idea I got from my husband who works in EMS. In teaching we just want to solve all the problems right now. But this work takes relationships. Relationships is slow work.

@MrNunesteach My PLC loves it. I have a class with my PLC team with me as the “teacher”. It makes us giggle every time they say that they sent the teacher something on Canva. 😜

@heymrsbond Yes! They see the light, the purpose, the reason where they didn’t last. Our writing has elevated, our reasoning and critical thinking have elevated. Parents are engaged and supportive in the process. I’m gelling with my 10th graders. Now my seniors are falling for senioritous 🫠

@MarisaEThompson More than 2 preps for my first year teachers. I have been arguing that everyone in my dept must have 2 preps before someone has 3. Especially a first year teacher. For me… I would like to wear less hats at times… I would like to just focus on coaching teachers

Course and curriculum design should be done with a wholistic approach where teacher teams develop as a whole. Explore what can be when whole semesters & units are developed with such intent. #teachertwitter #edutwitter #k12education #educationmatters
