[Scholastic Teachers @ScholasticEdu]

Teach students about history and traditions with read-alouds about the Festival of Lights, dreidels, menorahs, latkes, and more.

[Maddie Moquin @MadMacTeaching]

What a fun idea! Adds a bit of mystery to our reading sessions

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is such a cool idea! 🧡

When middle school students spend a day in service to others, they learn about empathy, kindness, and their capability to make change in their community. 🙌🏾

Google Slides is an awesome tool in the hands of our students....and it's free!

[Google for Education @GoogleForEdu]

Lights, camera, action 🎬 Make sure students have the tools they need to take the stage & deliver a successful presentation to large audiences by teaching this #AppliedDigitalSkills lesson ➡️ https://t.co/V7QhgBF9j1 #GrowWithGoogle

This podcast from @CultOfPedagogy on the Street Data model shouldn't be missed. Here, Dr. @JamilaDugan &Dr. @ShaneSafir explain how educators might become ethnographers and rely on stories, artifacts, and observations as data (vs. grades and test scores).

Breathless coverage of backlash and movements *against* inclusive curricula and practices often ignores the long history of students, families and communities pushing *for* those practices. That includes the decades-long fight for ethnic studies courses.

A good place to start when looking at how we should individualize learning for our students. No one thinks/learns the same way.

[TeachThought @TeachThought]

Personalized learning starts with the learner first, where differentiation and individualization take something designed for masses and attempt to adapt it for individuals–a monumental task to consistently do well.

I remember when Crayola came out with the Colors of the World pack and how excited I was to make a drawing of myself with my actual skin color. Every teacher should have this pack in their classroom and this book to remind us of why representation is so important.

[Maddie Moquin @MadMacTeaching]

The pandemic has shown us how important it is to be in touch with today's tech and how it can be implemented into the classroom

[Raconteur @raconteur]

The adoption of digital learning has been hastened by necessity during the Covid crisis. But, as the technology improves, there is a strong case for further implementation, in both the workplace and the classroom: https://t.co/sHbJKaq4xn

[Maddie Moquin @MadMacTeaching]

Technology is so much more than a distraction. Every teacher should get comfortable with the role of technology in the classroom

How to incorporate technology in numerous grades. Love it!

[TeachThought @TeachThought]

Here are ideas for using FlipGrid in class, separated by pre-K through 8, high school, and college. One way to think of it is not so much as 'using FlipGrid' but 'ideas for the kinds of things students can document and share with short videos.'

Below I’ve shared 15 strategies for students to reflect on their learning. Modeling the use of each up front can go a long way towards making sure you get the quality of work you’d like to see throughout the year–and students learn more in the process. https://t.co/8TQFrvdPYL

Sentence starters were a great way to differentiate the journal assignment in our Kindergarten class. Kids who struggled coming up with a sentence were able to use the sentence starter to set them on the right path.

Most adults try to shield students from hard conversations, but it is time to let them discuss it in ways they understand. Check out these tips for creating safe spaces in the classroom for difficult conversations!

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

“I learned that my students have a better understanding of these problems than they are given credit for. They are ready to talk about these issues—if we just get out of the way.” Kids want to discuss critical topics, no matter what adults in power say.

Another great article on diversity and teaching students the importance of other cultures. Learning for Justice includes resources for the whole year!

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Teach students an accurate and more complete history of Native and Indigenous peoples in celebration of Native American Heritage Month—and all year long! These resources can help. #NAHM

[Maddie Moquin @MadMacTeaching]

This could be a wonderful place to start the conversation of differentiation in the classroom and why it's so important!

Our job is more than just passing on information. Relationship building is an important part of successful teaching. Here are 50 excellent phrases to encourage our students!

[TeachThought @TeachThought]

There are many ways to encourage a child, but for students of any age, honest, authentic, and persistent messages from adults that have credibility in their eyes are among the most powerful. #teaching #studentmotivation #growthmindset #education #SEL https://t.co/aBO1Z9pI0z
