Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I would not be where I am today if it was not for the wonderful teachers I had along the way. Thank you to all teachers who continue to teach the next generation of leaders without you we would fail! #TeacherAppreciationWeek#education
@web20classroom@edutopia As a former teacher myself, I resonate with this article. Have you heard of @edmodo? @edmodo provides a safe #social digital platform for teachers, students and parents. It is completely free and has an interface similar to other social learning networks!
When we begin to identify as #experts, our outlook can narrow, both in daily work and in times of crisis. We become reluctant to admit mistakes and failings thus hindering our development ~ HBR #reflection#checkyourself#ego#ThursdayThoughts
Humans are smart & capable at any age. We as adults should expect more from the young and have a lot to learn! https://t.co/tTIwSkUp88 check out this article/video. Would love to hear your thoughts #education#teachers#lifelonglearning
My favorite part about Friday is being able to #reflect on the #goals that I had for the week and determine how I might be able to push myself to be and do better for the next week #FridayMotivation What is your favorite part about Fridays? #FridayThoughts
@mraspinall Homework for some is busy work. Not all students need homework to master a particular skill or concept. I believe in providing students the structures and support they need to be successful which does not always require homework.
All students should be given the skills to self-direct their own #learning. There is so much information out there and if you have the will to learn you can do anything. #lifelonglearner these are my thoughts as I myself am taking a course to learn a new skill right now 😁
When someone says good job don't let that be a conversation ender. Ask Which part? What did you see that seemed to work well? Explore the nature of the praise so that you can continue to get better and improve! #feedback#teaching#lifelong-learner #feedback#lifelonglearner
@skygriepp @skygriepp Yes! That is grounded in objective facts whereas you can imagine an interaction with a student in which you are tempted to say "You lack strategic thinking" instead should say "I'm struggling to understand your plan." Defining what strategic thinking is less objective
Geeking out on this HBR article on #feedback "Your Brain responds to critical feedback as a threat and narrows its activity. Focusing people on their shortcomings doesn't enable learning; it impairs it."
