Middle school English teacher @JoyKirr has been teaching over 20 years, but she doesn't think she would have lasted another 15 if she hadn't started to make changes that reflect what she thinks is "right and good" for students @Kschwart https://t.co/iYIEOR4snR #edchat

Teachers were nervous about fitting in all the extra #recess and covering the basics, but they say that halfway through the school year, kids are way ahead of schedule @keranews https://t.co/uKHMsOV9PA #edchat #play #SEL #elemchat #parents

"One way to think about puberty is to think of it as a learning spurt for heartfelt goals. It's a particularly opportune time to fall in love with learning itself." https://t.co/TB8XuZju54 #edchat #teens #tweens #mschat #hschat #parenting

Don’t tell students what they should know; create the structure for them to experience it on their own. @dlaufenberg https://t.co/nu4mE5sVqt #inquiryEd

“All you really need is a desire to do something different.”

These short videos give students a fun, creative way to get to know each other.

Flexible learning spaces aren't a new idea. But critics of the open classroom argue schools are transforming spaces without training teachers on how to adjust to the new space @hechingerreport https://t.co/CAKDjvJutm #edchat #design #cpchat

How do you use hands on play in your classroom? #learning #Teachers #classroom

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Hands-on play creates many opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering and math. @edutopia @Kschwart

“Schools should be the students oasis, not a holding cell”. Me encanta esa frase “los niños con ausencias crónicas deben sentir que la escuela es su oasis” @edutopia https://t.co/N9pOuPrgrq

"Do now sheets" helps this teacher check in with her students every day—guaranteed.

Has anyone done this? Thoughts?

Connection means preparing students to learn. #connect #Students #Teachers

[edutopia @edutopia]

“Every student needs to belong and connect to at least one teacher or one adult in this building every day.” Here’s how one school is making sure students have meaningful connections on campus.

Creative play and hands on learning working together. Enjoying summer camp! #SummerCamp

[Mile High Academy @MileHighAcademy]

Students need art education and space to be creative in their learning. #art #brainscience #education

"For me being #traumainformed has so much to do with mindset, accepting that different people come into a school setting with incredibly varied life experiences." https://t.co/jMA2fJOvBK #edchat #cpchat #edadmin #teaching

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Mental health screenings have helped schools intervene and offer resources to kids in need. Some of the students said, “I was waiting for this. I was waiting for someone to know,” according to a district psychologist. @Chalkbeat #mentalhealth

What are teachers doing for self care? Some of our teachers go out into nature, some take time away with family...you? #selfcare #Teachers

"If we didn’t love teaching, we'd find a gig that paid better or demanded less. That doesn't change the reality that this job is hard. We need deep rest and renewal if we're going to keep doing it well" @JustinMinkel https://t.co/pdkqDgHSjr #edchat #summer #selfcare
