A cool way of creating a #virtualclassroom https://t.co/Ma0PO7JTiO

Continuing to think about the best combination of methods for previewing and distributing my classroom library this year... 🤔 #teachinginthetimeofcovid #teachersadapt

[Booksource @Booksource]

Have you figured out how to get #classroomlibrary books to your students this year? 📚

Here are the tips and resources you need to ensure accessibility during COVID-19!

This guide has a journalistic angle, but there are some excellent takeaways for everyone.

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

In trying to expand the ways we interact with, discuss, and share our reflections on texts, I was thinking about trying out #BookSnaps . Has anyone used these before? Thoughts and/or tips? #teachingduringcoronavirus

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

What are your favorite non-gendered ways you address your students? What are your students’ favorites? I usually like to reflect whatever unit we’re working on (“okay, journalists...”) 👩🏼‍🏫

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

Me opening my email to see that rubrics on Google Classroom will be rolling out for everyone. Geeking out. Can’t wait to try. #EdTech #GoogleClassroom

@HollandHVCHS @PURELL I cut out a bunch of card stock leaves for a project I didn’t end up doing, so now there’s paper foliage scattered all over the contents of my middle drawer 🍃🌿🍃🍂🍃🍁🌿

Being a new teacher with new a curriculum:

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

@GerardDawson3 But stepping back and seeing your class as a whole you have to be okay with varied levels of mastery since statistically 100% of Ss won’t understand 100% of material 100% of the time.

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

@GerardDawson3 Similar to what you said about goals and factors. When you have a S in front of you, you’re constantly teaching/explaining with mastery in mind. You’re driven by getting them to that “100%”

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

@MrsPTweets Let’s do it!

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

@GerardDawson3 Zoom in to remember that you can help the student in front of you get to 100% for the task at hand but zoom out to remind yourself that the class in front of you is composed of varying degrees of strengths meant to complement each other.

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

@GerardDawson3 Maintain high standards when evaluating measurable growth but practice delayed gratification.

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

Our new light system seems to be working! I thought there had to be a better way of communicating “how we’re working today” than answering “can we listen to music on our headphones?” a million times 🤪 #8thGradeLA #aroundtheclassroom

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

Nothing better than getting inspired on a Monday night and being reminded that #WeGotThis . Thank you @MisterMinor 🙏🏼 So grateful for my professional network, old and new. @MsSeddon5 @EsMteach @MrsPTweets

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

Thank you, @halseanderson ! So many great ideas to celebrate and bring into the classroom. Looking forward to encouraging my Ss with #resilience literature, and challenging them with #diverse perspectives.

Better #getreading

[Ms. Caitlin Mannion @MannionMs]

So glad to feel that, as a new teacher, I’m starting with a blank canvas in developing go-to phrases to use with my classes, so that I can consciously choose language that reflects our shared values. @RheThinking #SocialJusticeSaturday #tcrwp #words #talk #communication
