"While honoring the process takes more time and often means a bit more mess in our classrooms, in the long run it gives our students invaluable opportunities to think critically, reflect, and build independence."

Resilient learners recognize when they are stuck and have the language to ask for support when they need it. Most important, they hold a belief that they can “do math.” @edutopia

All January was a complete clown show of absences at school but we're still going to line up to pound these kids with high-stakes tests come spring.

Got to hold someone accountable for all this mess. Why not the teachers?

@HoustonChron the reason why is partly bc a congresswoman and her aide demanded access to a protected area, refused to leave, assaulted the center’s director and tried to run over the director’s son. https://t.co/YfWZnB7s85

Sometimes kids come to school to learn. Sometimes kids come to school to be loved. Many times kids come to school for both.

Stop letting students get away with racist or homophobic behavior.

Even when “it’s just a joke”.

If they’re old enough for it to come out of their mouth, their old enough to have the conversation on why it’s disrespectful and inappropriate.

Accurate. 💯

Collaborative learning has to do w/Vygotsky’s “zone of proximal development.” It considers what a student can do if aided by peers and adults. By considering this model, we might consider collaboration to increase students’ awareness of other concepts. https://t.co/zNtrAreI0N

Begin with the desired goal in mind. Almost always that requires change, which requires learning, growth and discovery. If the goal is worthy, so is the journey. Replace "That's how we've always done it," with, "How can we do better?"

What would you write for this?

“Gamification promotes goal setting and student agency.” In quality gamification, each student is working to achieve their personal best.
