“We need to remind ourselves that mental health trumps academic performance every time. Students who don’t feel grounded or safe or healthy cannot do their best work.”

Those relationships are so important, and can determine the attitude of the student for the rest of the year. https://t.co/gvb7siMzmc

#psy347 #taooftheweek always keep your students best interest in mind. Building relationships with your students is very important.

We see them during the week more than their parents do, so we have to wear a lot of different hats. https://t.co/AYCggQtTOF

Students are developing humans. The more ways we can support them and teach to their individual needs, the easier and more enjoyable learning will become for them. Teachers play many roles and all of them are equally important to each students success. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Yes! Testing by itself doesn't allow us to look at the "whole" student. https://t.co/PZKVTNv9qT

Extrinsic motivation in a classroom can work for a time, but only if you start to shift it to intrinsic motivation eventually. #AhaMoment #PSY347

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

When a student's acting out in class, look at what happened right before it in addition to what might have been going on at home. #TaoOfTheWeek #PSY347

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Keeping snacks on hand for students that may not have had breakfast can help keep them focused in class and their stomachs full, and it's just a nice thing to do. #HowToDoIt #PSY347

Many advocates are pushing schools to talk about LGBTQ history in schools. https://t.co/1vAZHFGgfy

Every student confronts the same obstacle: the principle of least effort. Use these 7 ideas to get them thinking more deeply. https://t.co/hiSZusNjWA

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

So true, I will always keep pushing my kids to do their best. I never want to "give up" on a kid. https://t.co/iEGaqmLzGk

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Exactly. I think this is so important to keep in mind in regards to our kids and why they might be acting out. https://t.co/Rz3LtINlXI

[Kylie Kayemba @KayembaKylie]

Just like we have bad days where we don’t have any energy, so do kids. Be kind and take their feelings seriously. #PSY347 #AhaMoment

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

It's always good to see new perspectives and to keep improving our practices to best fit our students. https://t.co/tN8tLqdnuU

[Sydney Valerio @valerio_sydney]

there are many different types of teachers out there, being collaborative and learning different styles can only benefit your ability to teach! it allows having a different perspective and outlook on teaching. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Be inclusive within your classrooms. Little things like not having gendered bathroom passes, or not lining up by "boys" and "girls", can really help students who don't fit into the traditional binary feel more comfortable and supported. #PSY347 #HowToDoIt

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

The MUSIC model can be really useful in helping students with their motivation in the classroom. #PSY347 #AhaMoment

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Don't put up with bullying or name calling in the classroom at all. Even if it's in jest, other students may see it happening and think it's ok. #PSY347 #TaoOfTheWeek

Yes! There are many ways to assess besides just the traditional testing. https://t.co/I808bMlHMP
