I love math because...Something I have been thinking about is not only loving the subject you are teaching but becoming the subject-taking ownership of it. I am math because...How are we showing our students to take ownership in their learning? #langislit https://t.co/Vjq5nbRLxv
What does your teaching look like? This is something I am beginning to discover, teaching is caring and listening to your students. #langislit https://t.co/W0f5jWU55y
This is exactly what I have been learning all year! Our students in a social studies classroom should be learning to become active citizens and make a difference in the world. Develop their thinking for critical thinking! #langislit https://t.co/Jr7iPzPn96
If Ss leave class just knowing the answer to a problem, we've wasted their time. That answer may never happen again. If we've developed the thinking and reasoning necessary to solve the problem, that's worth their time. 😍 @AmyLucenta@GraceKelemanik#FosteringMPs#NCTMannual
@justintarte Something I have been learning this year is collaboration. Collaboration is a key component of great teams, and cannot be present unless each team member trusts the others! #langislit
Students can learn in so many different ways! I hadn't thought about this, but maybe it is possible to bring things such as video games into the classroom in a new way?? What other resources can help students connect learning with their lives? #langislit https://t.co/pECIr8k7He
This week was my last week with my 6th graders. It was an amazing experience that has taught me why I'm on this life long journey of education! #langislit#practicum
Our world operates on extrinsic motivation. We desire money, raises, promotions, etc. What motivation do your students have? Rewards are not always unrealistic #langislit#edchat#eee
Children should be seen and not heard-This is something I know many parents have taught their children. How do we, as educators, respect that while allowing and desiring our students to have a voice in the classroom? #langislit
"Character is who you are when no one is watching." How are we teaching our students to be someone of good character without rewards each time? #langislit#edchat
Don't just make rules to prove your authority in the classroom. Always have a why that explains to your students the reason for the rule! #langislit#edchat
Who we are and how we act will reflect what situations we find ourselves in. Think about who you are both in and out of the classroom! #langislit#edchat
Be the change! These three words are going to be with me throughout my career. In my teaching, I can't expect my students to not have needs. I will change my teaching to meet each need. #langislit https://t.co/AquhzxLn8C
Most people don't want to look to themselves for the solution. They want something outside of them to change. Be the change. You can't control anyone or anything else. But you can control you. What you believe, say, and do is your choice each day. Be great!
My mentor teacher told me today that on the first day of school each year he has his new students write him a letter. This is an awesome way to learn about your student's writing, vocabulary, and their INTERESTS! #langislit
I heard someone say the other day, "The world can't define you if you know who you are." This impacted the way I think about my students. How am I helping them see who they are to define themselves? #langislit#edchat
