I need K-12 admin & higher ed to STOP telling us to make time for self-care at the same time as they’re expecting superhuman levels of work and expecting us to expect it of students.

We need to listen to each student’s story as it develops and use this to make our lessons applicable, real, and authentic for who they are #ElonEd

@ABSSCurrPd @Achieve3000 Why are we still holding onto the mindset that rewarding teachers for inequitable measures of student success is best practice?

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@ABSSCurrPd @Achieve3000 What if a student purposely chooses to answer incorrectly so that they will only have to do work below their actual level of understanding?

[Grace Crowley @Gracefcrowley]

@ABSSCurrPd @Achieve3000 How does this work in an advanced English Language Arts class if students have reached the maximum level?

[Ms. Meg @mkell_1]

@EmilyCo90280951 @rachel_caldeira and I couldn’t keep our mouths closed long enough for Prof. Wade to even make a comment today in #EDU410 because of how passionate we are about play #oops #ElonEd #LetChildrenPlay #PlayingIsLearning

So the El Paso shooter was a white supremacist.

The Dayton shooter was a Leftist.

The ICE bomber quoted AOC.

The Congressional baseball game shooter was a Bernie bro.

But according to the media, all the violence is Trump’s fault. Disgusting dishonesty.

@thnorfar #sunchat there are aspects of certain topics I wouldn't discuss with students based on age and maturity. While I might discuss the differences in ideas that are the basis of wars right now with my kindergarteners, I would focus on the interpersonal aspects not the details of war

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

You can AWAYS make cross-subject connections and expand students' thinking and interests rather than cutting their learning off just because "now it's time for math" #SunChat

@susankotch If I could like this more than once I would

[bwaterfall @bwaterfall1]

As a third grade teacher, I like to give my students the opportunity to write persuasive speeches to me about their thoughts on topics learned that involve CE! Right now, we are discussing energy sources! #sunchat

Amazing! The social science standards are really lacking across the country-we need to spark interest in their young minds so that they see current events and social studies as relevant as the become young adults and active citizens

[Alex T. Valencic, Ed.M. 🥨 @alextvalencic]

@thnorfar I really appreciate the new Illinois social science standards that group topics around a growing awareness of the world around us: kindergarten starts with family and it expands to the nation by fifth grade, then world in middle grades. I think this will help! #sunchat

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@ColinESeale Something that has been transferable to any age from early childhood classes is that we should be teaching in a child-centered manner, making sure that material we introduce is relevant to their lives and of interest to them, & helps them make connections across subjects #sunchat

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@alextvalencic #sunchat in my ed classes, we've discussed this. We decided that all children should know about important events, even at age 3 or 4. We have to bring the content to their level of understanding and introduce it in a way that is relevant to their lives (but not scary)

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@3_DLeadership @writenoelle This is so interesting...I've never seen this before. Is there a context for this?

[tyler @3_DLeadership @3_DLeadership]

@writenoelle For me, it starts with students understanding the idea of the Johari window. That all of us have blind spots. Others know things we do not. Including about ourselves #sunchat

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@TheKevinMCline #sunchat Good morning! Emily here at Elon University, elementary ed major with pre-k add-on and Spanish minor

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@Ms_Cesari A3: #ElonEd Make sure it's not 100% about your classroom...make time for you. mental health is important and we need to get into a good, consistent sleep schedule to keep those kiddo germs from getting us sick!

[Emily Cohen @EmilyCo90280951]

@scomorrison A2: #ElonEd go to school board meetings, go to PTO/PTA meetings, go to science fairs and school game nights and all school events that you can manage to
