Teachers don’t always need a new strategy, a new activity, or a new resource. Sometimes… what they need is some encouragement. They need to be reminded that they are professionals, that they are good at what they do, and that what they are doing every day really does matter.

@DFISHERSDSU@wbny@NAESP A good reminder of what to look for in your phonics program, what to add if needed and what to avoid by way of breakdowns. Using with K-2 PLCs in the new year.
Instead of rewarding individual kids, reward the entire class in honor of a student or group of students. Then privately give the individual something extra (though not necessary). Comment how you feel about rewards/awards👇? #edchat#thatonekid#edutwitter#education#culturize
"Students like this have taught me that change is possible, even in the most difficult cases." On #WorldTeachersDay, we celebrate educators like Ayesha al-Shabazz for recognizing students' strengths and stories as she works to help them learn.
