What an interesting part of our world! So useful to talk to students about earth and space science they can see

[Tim Peake @astro_timpeake]

It's been brilliant seeing Mars and a waning Moon this month...but now I'm after the Andromeda galaxy. Have you seen it yet? Going to need my stabilised binos for this one. #Astrophotography

Today is #WorldTeachersDay. And in this especially stressful time, our appreciation for educators has never been greater. If needed, we hope you take a moment today to check in with yourself, acknowledge your fatigue and take care. This tool may help.

Students want to be seen. They want to be heard. They want to matter.

Teachers do more than just teach academic standards; they bring hope. They’re not just preparing students for the next grade level; they’re preparing them for life.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When people are excited about their work, people usually notice. It matters.

For example, most students notice when their teachers are passionate about teaching. And it usually affects their attitude towards their learning.

COVID changes some things... but not everything.

Sparklabs has been an excellent resource for science lessons!

A very relevant topic for the digital learning we are currently surrounded by

[Bree Wilmen @BWilmen]

This is so important for children to understand! Cyber bullying is very relevant in today’s society and knowing that someone is there to help you in these situations is important! #comm140bris #acuedu_p

It doesn't matter when we start. It doesn't matter where we start. All that matters is that we start.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Teaching in the virtual setting looks a bit different. But the art is the same:

Identify where kids are, where they need to go, and how to get them there... and look for opportunities to form personal connections because that motivates students & maximizes instructional impact.

"I teach for the little Black girls who have their voices misread as attitude and not confidence and passion." In our new magazine issue, @MrsWrightin5th reflects on her history as a student—and her "why."

One of the most important things we can do as humans... is to be curious about the perspectives and experiences of other humans.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Some students aren’t putting forth much effort; I’m grateful that teachers aren’t giving up on them.

Some parents keep pushing back; I’m grateful that teachers are demonstrating poise and patience.

This year is really hard; I’m grateful that teachers are persevering.
