Forming meaningful connections with your students is so important. When students feel supported, they’re more likely to succeed in the classroom. “You know, kids don’t learn from people they don’t like” - Rita Pierson

@carolinetjones3 There are many ways to incorporate group work while still allowing students to express their own knowledge. For instance, students work together to complete a task, but at the end, let them write a reflection that summarizes what they knew, learned, and hope to learn more about!

@KaceyKilgore Culture is constantly changing as individuals are shaped by the world around them. This change could cause issues as everyone forms different beliefs. However, these differences shouldn’t be a hinderance when it comes to collaboration but rather viewed as a learning experience.

Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory suggests that development depends on culture and interaction with people. But what exactly defines culture? #AUFOUN3100

@carolinetjones3 As teachers, listening to the needs of our students is crucial to their success. However, with a classroom of 20+ students, it’s difficult to get one on one time with each one, but just spending a couple minutes asking them about their day, etc. can show them that we care.

@emilylrut If we only combat short-term problems then we only get short-term answers. We have to hold our students accountable for making responsible decisions in the long run and one way to do that is by teaching them to consider the potential consequences of their actions.

“Students must attain democratic values in school if we ever hope to change political structures because they are the future citizens and leaders” (Sleeter, 2017, p. 154)

What are some ways that we can teach our students democratic values in the classroom? #AUCTEE3100

@madelynbrown98 Creating a welcoming environment can set the mood for the entire school year. If you, as the teacher, can get students to build a classroom community that supports one another early on, then they will feel more comfortable to express themselves when their peers are encouraging.

@carolinetjones3 Having authority is important to creating a stable classroom, but so is having their respect. Teachers need to remember that while they are children, they should not be talked down to. If you treat them with respect then they will want to give you the same in return.

“Teachers are spending more and more of their own money for classroom materials...even for basic supplies like paper & pencils” (Sleeter, 2017, p. 152)

What are some ways that teachers could get the classroom supplies they need without having to use their own money? #AUCTEE3100

“Textbook knowledge reflects reality - it is simply unbiased truth, or at least worth taking as truth, which is how students generally think of textbooks” (Sleeter, 2017, p. 81)

How can teachers incorporate diverse perspectives when textbooks fail to do so? #AUCTEE3100

@em__christensen Rewards have definitely become a norm in classrooms. Reward systems are a great way to visually keep students on task, praising students for positive behavior & redirecting those exhibiting negative behavior. However, incentives should never hinder the overall learning process.

@caroline00134 I feel like girls think more into things than boys do. Girls can be petty and tend to voice their emotions more so than boys which can come across as judgemental. Since girls tend to visually express their feelings, they can appear to be meaner and rude at times
