Turn a field trip or school exploration into an opportunity to develop literacy skills with the Language Experience Approach.

What an interesting way to motivate reading in students! #UABEEC301SP20

This is an important message for students and adults who take standardized tests. At best a test may communicate were you are....but it never communicates what you can be! #TheTenMinutePrincipal

A very important read. If a teacher doesn't bother to learn how to properly pronounce the names of their students, how can the students trust them? A student should be able to trust their teachers, but how can they when the teacher doesn't show them basic respect? #UABEEC301SP20

"If [students are] encountering teachers who are not taking the time to learn their name or don't validate who they are, it starts to create this wall."

Such a fantastic idea. A system like this benefits the students mentally, emotionally, and academically. It is great to know that there is someone at the school who cares and wants you to succeed. #UABEEC301SP20

Every adult at this school is paired with a check-in / check-out buddy, providing extra support for kids who need it.

@IvyTeachUAB @PrinceEa "A student is worth more than their test score." SO true, Ivy. Your whole message is something all teachers need to hear. #UABEEC301SP20

"There's a difference between people who are smart and people who score higher." This quote stood out to me the most in the video. One's intelligence cannot be accurately reflected by a test. With a lot of tests, they just show who tests better. #UABEEC301SP20

@teacherburton1 @PrinceEa Agreed! I have had so many teachers over the years that relied on us memorizing the information for the test but we couldn't retain the information once the test was over. #UABEEC301SP20
