The reason PD needs to focus on inspiration, affirmation, and strategies to maximize teachers' strengths! https://t.co/5NmD8Bx1XI

We are beyond thankful that @kevinisavol has returned to the General Assembly after a successful liver transplant in February. Rep. Raper is a light to our caucus and all who meet him, and we could not be more proud of his perseverance throughout his recovery.

@kevinisavol Was a huge asset to me as Freshman Leader. His support and friendship was constant. His passion for education, protecting children and families, and serving the needs of his district is evident in everything he does. He’s a great public servant and a better human being. Proud to serve alongside Godly men like him.

Recess is vital to education, not just a break but the heart beat of learning. Here, students build social skills, resilience, and academic foundations. Through unstructured play, they master problem-solving, teamwork, and even self-regulation, becoming well-rounded individuals

Have you tried greeting your students at the door? 👋

Simple words of greetings and encouragement can dramatically improve classroom dynamics, research found.⁠ ☀️

[Help A Teacher @HelpATeacher]

Reading counts! 📚

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

All educators need to fully enjoy their holidays. Few people know tired like educators. Research found that teachers make more minute-by-minute decisions than brain surgeons, & if that's not tiring enough, remember the decisions are with a classroom full of students. Exhausting!

Gear up for the #iReady Snowflake Challenge! Students who receive 90% or more on their online assignments will put a snowflake on the snowman. The class with the most snowflakes wins a special celebration! ☃️

Teachers have to recognize that they are not the focal point of the classroom if they want students to gain and keep knowledge, say educators. #EWOpinion @Larryferlazzo https://t.co/OUQFvzAdGT

When 9th grade students wrestled with math problems to find their own solutions before receiving instruction, their comprehension nearly doubled, compared to students learning via direct instruction only.
