Especially in this time of distance learning, creating playlists of educational videos is a good way to support English language learners.

Tip on how to demonstrate concepts during #RemoteLearning: use the #Jamboard app, share your screen, and have students collaborate on mind maps and diagrams. More about this visualization tool: https://t.co/LddPOWLQhO

Students working in pairs to research spiders on Epic! They had to find at least 3 facts about the spider🕷 I love seeing students relying on one another!

Did Math Rotations with 50 students yesterday and I’d say it was a success!! We reviewed concepts from our last 3 lessons in interactive and hands-on ways🤗

Loved my last session at #tsd_pd19 !!

@Ms_KMiller1 @janelance2nd Teachers should always build upon students' prior knowledge! Before starting a new topic of instruction, see what the students already know and what they want to learn more about. This will allow for more opportunities for student engagement.

@MissTouby18 @DeensRose I think it is super important to use the interleaving method in order to truly assess whether or not students understand the material.

[Amy Kuptz @KuptzAmy]

Explicit instruction provides clear goals and learning outcomes for students. Also, this instruction follows the "I do," "we do," and "you do" approach which allows students to gradually move towards independence with new skills.

What are the benefits of utilizing explicit instruction when carrying out lessons in your classroom? @janelance2nd #EDP495eS19

[Amy Kuptz @KuptzAmy]

@janelance2nd Utilizing the SIM model, students will learn how to implement a strategy through teacher modeling and a variety of practice activities that will gradually lead the child to independent use of the strategy. Students will also make generalizations about the strategy. #EDP495eS19

@janelance2nd Q1: I think that the physical classroom plays a large role in creating a positive learning environment. It is important that the walls are filled with encouraging thoughts and resources, and that the room is a vibrant and welcoming space. #EDP495eS19

[Amy Kuptz @KuptzAmy]

@janelance2nd A1: To me, this means that differentiation allows every student to have a place in the classroom with a curriculum specific to their unique needs. Students are able to reach their goals while being supported by both their peers and teachers. #EDP495eS19
