Controversial post: Effective teachers can do it without technology. We’ve let technology take the place of effective teaching. Teachers relying on tech fail to develop many strategies those with no tech available develop. (Obvious exception are contents that are tech based: computer science, broadcast, engineering, etc).

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Some classroom environments are more conducive to learning than others. 

As it turns out, effective instruction involves more than just a good lesson.

[John C. Maxwell @TheJohnCMaxwell]

Significance comes when you add value to others.

[The Principal’s Office @educator4ever36]

Teachers - could you teach for two weeks without any tech except a copy machine? No power points, no videos, just you and the content. Would you be able to provide the same level of engagement? Why or why not?

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

The minimum goal of every professional development is that teachers need to be more excited about teaching tomorrow than they were today. The best way to accomplish this is to make sure it offers something of immediate value. #MEMSPAchat

“The trick is to become more comfortable living with a question, working on it, learning from it – and knowing that you don’t have to have an answer right away” (Berger, 2018).

One of the most important thing you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.

The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.

Challenge: When a negative thought enters your mind, think three positive ones. Train yourself to flip the script. 🌈💡

Learning by teaching with #AI tools in tow fosters students’ self-regulatory skills and provides immediate diagnostic feedback.

When your people cannot speak up without fear.. that’s a red flag

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear.

The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration.

All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Make them feel heard.

[TCEA @TCEA]

Got a double blocked class and have to teach for 100 minutes? Don't worry, here are some structure ideas for you! Just think of it as two 50-minute classes with a coffee break in the middle!

How do you plan for 100 minute blocks?
