@emily_martire Also modeling different ways to motivate yourself can help students grow in their own strategies.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@FelicityKeel There are so many different ways to motivate yourself intrinisically, too. We just need to help our students figure out what works for them!

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

It may be especially challenging for any students who are behind to be motivated to catch up. I liked a lot of the ideas from this article, particularly praise progress not perfection! #PSY347 https://t.co/AWgOKQsvHS

@mmveled We need to be very mindful and aware of the signs of these so we can help our students succeed.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@KennaCarroll10 I agree. I feel like I have to reflect on everything I do to make sure I actually understood it and then would be able to teach it.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@MillikenMeghan It's really important to know what works for us as teachers, too, so that we can stay motivated throughout the year.

I can help my students be motivated by applying MUSIC. MUSIC is eMpowering for autonomy, Usefulness for value, Success for a students sense of self, have Interesting content, and promoting Caring through a classroom community. This creates a motivated classroom #PSY347 #howtodoit

There are a lot of factors to consider when looking at motivation including the locus, if you have control over it, and if it can or cannot be changed. I never knew there were so many ways to identify it. #ahamoment #PSY347

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

Motivation is not a one size fits all situation. To be an effective teacher, I need to be aware of different motivation strategies and be able to help my students find the method that works best for them. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

I love the ideas they have on this for ways students can self-assess. I will post these in my room as a reminder for both for myself and my students! https://t.co/0doxbC3rfs

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@emily_martire It's so important to use what you learn from each assessment, too. Use the data to drive your instruction!

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@BrittanyBrophy1 I always appreciate when everything we do in our classes now is for a reason. That idea should span all of education! There's no reason to waste any time for us or our students.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@DestreeKimberly I didn't truly realize how many forms of assessment there were. I definitely have a lot in my toolbox now that can help relieve the stress of "testing" for my students.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

I know I am my worst critic. Using a checklist as a self-assessment before turning in assignments is a form of self-regulation that can help my students become more successful and responsible with their work. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@SarahSamStern2 Using a variety of assessments can give us a better idea of where our students really are, where they need help, and what their strengths are.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

If I apply peer assessment in my classroom, I will make sure to first establish very clear expectations and procedures so all students are comfortable sharing their work. I will also work to create an ongoing supportive classroom community. #PSY347 #howtodoit

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@emily_martire I agree with this completely. A score is only a snapshot of what a student can do in that very moment. I would rather see a portfolio of progress than a single moment in time.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

More often than not, when we assess students it is for performance. Performance assessments test you in a controlled setting whereas authentic assessments have a real-world application. #ahamoment #PSY347

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@LianaRosling Making strong connections between students and between student and teacher can definitely mark the difference between a good or bad experience in a class.

[Emily Blomberg @BlombergEmily]

@MichaelaLester2 I agree and it is important to recognize how to students work best and most efficiently. It needs to be a system that work for both the teacher and the students.
