This explainer unpacks what it means to be a culturally responsive teacher and where other academic concepts such as critical race theory tie in—or not. #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching https://t.co/rLw1hOddkZ

This is #Microaggresion - each rubber band is harmless on its own. But there is a cumulative effect even on the strongest and toughest.

#AcademicMentalHealth is important.

Truth! 🙌

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

We need to keep students engaged and empowered, not busy.

As a principal, I don’t need to see your lesson plans. Because if I’m doing my job effectively, I see the true teaching and learning every day.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Be the teacher you wish you had and knew you needed.

Tip Tuesday! Add a hyphen after the t in a video's YouTube link, making it yout-ube. You'll be redirected to a new URL where the video fills the window, is presented without ads and suggested videos, and loops playback.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Teachers care about their students, and they understand that connecting with students is more important than ever. But they cannot carry the weight of the responsibility for the social and emotional health of all their kids. That’s too much to bear. It takes a village.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Teachers are more motivated when their administration supports them, values them, and encourages them.

Guess when students are more motivated.

@sam_kean @GillenwaterMeg Awesome, Sam! Thanks for sharing!!

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

A2: As a science teacher, I am unaware of the texts that students read in which grades; but, in a science class books like “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” are a great source of information that is culturally relevant to students. #readworldisonfire

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

@laforrestergsu Yes! I'd be happy to email it to you. I provide it to students after they receive their graded exam as a means to reflect on their progress and how they might improve moving forward.

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

@kalbers300 Most certainly! This has been a pleasure to be able to discuss the book and hear ideas from other colleagues. Our unique group had individuals to represent all four core and all teach in differing settings!

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

@laforrestergsu @kalbers300 Yes! It really required that students analyzed why they earned the grade they did on the exam as well as the ability to share whether they had extenuating circumstances that hindered their performance on that particular exam.

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

@GillenwaterMeg I love how you relate this expertise directly back to the course content! This will inform you for possible co-teaching scenarios with students!

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

A4: Through the use of charting student differences, I wish to learn three or four key features of each of my students. This was a strategy that one of my professors in undergrad showed us and it provided us with a lot of insight on our students. #readworldisonfire

[Larry Layfield @LayfieldScience]

@GillenwaterMeg This is awesome and it makes students responsible for the topics to be discussed!
