Educators may recognize the cumulative stressors that they face, but they don't always realize that their symptoms are a common reaction to working with traumatized children — and that these symptoms have a name. https://t.co/ArYL1Mr43U
Final Q: Formative assessment essentially is your quick pulse check. Again the online space makes it smooth - we see you Padlet, Nearpod, Kahoot, Zoom polls etc. #NNPSChat
#NNPSChat A4-Virtual classrooms are a haven for differentiated instructional strategies. Our teachers are utilizing vid clips, choice boards, polls, reflective/multi-response questions, Flipgrid etc.
A2 - Student agency=student voice, student's sharing the ideas receiving feedback from the facilitating teacher and peers. Since Virtual Instruction peels back the behavioral mgmt, teachers have the power to structure relatable lessons that students want to invest in. #NNPSChat
A1 - Virtual lessons offer a lot of flexibility in that a variety of platforms/extensions can be used to convey information. The unique aspect is that less is more. Since the behavior piece is almost entirely removed, all the focus is on instruction. #NNPSChat
A recent study found that when students generate questions on a topic they’re learning, they’re much more likely to remember the material. Here are 5 ways you can encourage high-quality questions in your classroom. https://t.co/au3tFrQ9UM
Everything flows from the person you are. Leaders get into trouble when they put their desire for results before their willingness to develop themselves in areas of competence and character.
Some teachers, staff & admin may feel overwhelmed or need help. Most will not reach out for help because they think it makes them look weak or incompetent. Take a moment to check in & see how each other is doing and let them lean on you if they need it. Teams build each up!
Besides trust and respect, I think teachers most want an admin who has their back. There is no more secure feeling than a leader who you know won't throw you under the bus, will defend you in public, allows you to fail safely and will support you as a professional.
