There is no problem in any school that can’t be solved by a meeting that uses sticky-notes!

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

Lectures are a huge waste of time! We've been doing them for thousands of years! Wake up! Try something new!

I've been playing Ted Talks to my students during the final 20 minutes on Fridays! They love it

That's funny... I teach my students to turn boxes into fire extinguishers for your boxes #makerspace #boxesnotfires https://t.co/4MhwMP0raH

A great school is one where every student in the building anticipates and expects greatness of every teacher in the building. #truth #switchback https://t.co/sbBmgV22hA

A GREAT school is one where EVERY adult in the building anticipates and expects greatness of EVERY youngster in the building.

Make the most of your final days before holiday break! Then start a countdown to when you get your students back. They NEED you! You matter! #teachersmatter #KidsDeserveIt

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

I like to think of myself as a sage on the side...

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

Not a great way to keep your class size manageable... https://t.co/6iQPgkJi9T

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Teachers who put #relationships first don't just have students for one year; they have students who view them as 'their' teacher for life...

[GRADECAM @GRADECAM]

@GrowthMindGrit Interesting thought!

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

What if we taught kindness with the same methods we teach math? @GRADECAM

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

110% of the jobs that our students will have in the future don't exist now! #teachfor the future

Albert Einstein wasn't smart. He worked hard! #growthmindset

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

If it can't be solved by a faculty meeting, it can't be solved... #justbeingreal

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

Love this! It's going to really cut down on students sharing "their opinion" over and over!

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

I knew that I had transformed as a teacher when my students started asking, "what is the learning?" instead of "what's the assignment?" https://t.co/5a0oO3dy2D

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

The assignment is not the value, what is the learning.

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

Time of year when students check out. Great time to grab these guys out of the old tool box: pop-quizzes, homework checks, behavior reports

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

One of my favorite ways to change things up: take away all pens and pencils and then lecture for 50 minutes. #makethinkinginvisible

[22nd Century Teacher @GrowthMindGrit]

Colleagues, I cannot recommend that you follow @john_hattie more emphatically. I've never met him, but his tweets always make me think!

True change can only happen in schools if it comes from a committee
