This year is all about adaptation and how we can take the elements of the normal classroom into a virtual classroom. Through collaborating with teammates and constant thinking "outside the box" it can be done! #agape #adaptation

@WinkelsKinders I really liked this song on the Padlet, it makes so much sense!

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@HannahA0415 I love this so much! We are not superheroes and cannot do everything even if we think so!

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

Yes, so good to remember this!!! #W4edburnouttips

[Eric Johnson @ericjohnson218]

Burnout tip: Good is ok: no one can be a perfect teacher, but there are 1000 ways to be a good teacher! #W4edburnouttips

@WinkelsKinders Sometimes I need to do this, remember that when I begin a new task or challenge that I need to walk instead of run for it!
#W4edburnouttips

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

Yes! I need to do more of this, always feel better when I see what I am grateful for!

I love everything about this!!! #W4Edburnouttips

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@MsShaw252 This is exactly what I need to do more of because when I have done it in the past it feels so good! #W4edburnouttips

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

You need to take care of yourself first through daily self-care so you can be the best that you can be for others #havetofillyourcup #W4edburnouttips

@ktbhiggins Last question of the night? Don't want to miss anything! #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@ktbhiggins Q8: I use assessment FOR, I tend to use what my students know and need to understand more as formative assessment and not as an ending and needing to move on #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@Paula46364540 @EAlbrecht77 I use teachable moments almost daily with preschool students! #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@EAlbrecht77 Q7: In my classroom after direct teaching, I can assess my students' SEL skills through their actions. I can note if they can take care of their own needs, recognize emotions and self-regulate, empathize with others and make responsible decisions. #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@haleymorse22 @ktbhiggins Same in preschool, so much direct modeling as well visuals, so important! #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@ericjohnson218 YES! This is such a good point, my team (paras and SPED teachers) help with assessment all the time.

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@ktbhiggins Q6: I know that use a variety of ways to assess my students based on their abilities. I will ask students what something is or have them point it out. I will assess in large or small groups or for some students one-on-one. #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@TheKdgTeach @EAlbrecht77 We are in the same boat in early childhood, we are currently working on how to assess in the future if distance learning continues in the Fall. It is difficult for sure #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@EAlbrecht77 A5: Yes! With distance learning, we are needing to redefine how we can check for our students' learning and growth in skills in our ways than maybe a test. #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

Yes, constant building off previous learning! #MB8assess

[Paula @Paula46364540]

@ktbhiggins A4: make sure that students are able to apply what they learned to the next thing that they are doing and that they are able to build off of it. #mb8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

@ktbhiggins Q4: By taking what you learn from the assess data from the students and plan your future teaching using the pieces of information from the assessment, it should be a continually circle #MB8assess

[Nicole Liffrig @LiffrigNicole]

These are all great elements to consider when thinking about why we are doing assessment #MB8assess

[Haley Morse @haleymorse22]

@EAlbrecht77 #MB8assess A3: What you want the outcome to be, the students who are participating in the assessment, and the amount of time the assessment will take.
