Secondary Mathematics teacher living the dream in Switzerland. Always looking for inspiration

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

If you really believe in what you are doing,work hard,take nothing personally & if something blocks one route,find another. Never give up

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

Something to think about. How can we have mixed attainment classes, differentiate in them and then give all the same test at the end of a unit?

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

Absolutely love this thought and illustration. This is exactly what education should be about. Learning is not about memorising facts to past a test, it should be deep & engaging. Prepare our children for life not tests @dylanwiliam

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

It is NOT Parents vs Teachers or Teachers against Parents. WE are on the same team.

Politicians, however, are great at pitting us against each other for their own agendas.

The amazing @MrsVNielsen & @kimjoslyn organized and put together this amazing music video to help keep all our spirits up during #COVID2019 #lockdown #noworries Made everyone @ISZL smile and feel ready for 2weeks away from each other. Thank you 🙏🏼

@ukedchat In Swiss schools this is the way teachers are connecting with their students. Teachers print off booklets, write an SAE, put in envelopes, hand address them to students and then post them out. #dedication #respect

3 weeks of online teaching. Never thought it would be so hard. But on the plus, I’ve really enjoyed developing different relationships with my students. Who’d have thought I’d enjoy hanging out with a bunch of #tweenies? #SilverLining #COVID19 #alwayslearning #ISZL

@rosethechemist @MrsVNielsen you might find this interesting

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

@jancey5 @horofraser @megyzr Great Idea. I use @ddmeyer regularly for ideas. I'll look inot this for next week :)

Only #Day3 of #schoolclosure Teaching #Maths online. Looking for ideas that can take kids away from #Screentime #Grade7 #geometry #COVID2019 #selfisolated

So great to have @ScienceBob at @ISZL Bringing Science to life. thanks @MrsVNielsen and Elizabeth Meeks for organising such a great event for us

[Tracey Smith @SmiffyDeTeacher]

What makes the film canister rockets pop? @ScienceBob is at @ISZL to explain! #Science #stem #reactions

Over the weekend an ISZL Staff & Parent team took part in the Uster Triathlon in Zurich for a fun day with beautiful weather & some best-ever finishing times - well done! #triathlon #teamspirit #Switzerland #ISZL

Increasingly the jobs of the future will require computer science skills & the 2-day Coding Playground in Middle School introduces students to programming in a fun & creative way. Read more here: https://t.co/87QNjrPso7 #edtech #STEM #code #innovation #technology

I'm doing an investigation with students on #ScreenTime use. Quite scary what information your phone tracks on you these days. If anyone has a spare 3 minutes and would like to help out I'd appreciate it. Completely anonymous so no judgement!

@MrsVNielsen his would be a good #Phenomena question for when we go up to Wengen.

Mission complete-Time to breathe! Presented #phenomena based learning to #europeancurriculumsummit Thanks to our audience 4 great ideas generated, need to now process to see how we can develop those for future use. #rubiconPD #ISZL #mathsandmusic

#STEM session today on building a sound proof box. Having the time to be the student highlights the frustrations & the excitement of achieving. Thanks @duyguerdgan @ozgeaydemirsci for bringing STEM to life in 60mins. #rubiconPD

[Kelby Zenor (she/her) @kzenor]

We always get feedback from our events or #professionallearning time as an adult - love the idea from @MissAMDavies @MrsVNielsen to get formal reflections from #students after a major project or unit and then use that to make informed decisions for the next time #rubiconpd

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

@mashupmath @joboaler This is so true, yet so many Maths teachers learnt algorithmically and find it hard to understand that this is actually the way the brain wants to work. Probably more so these day’s with children being fed so much technology the brain has developed more visual learning paths

[Miss D @MissAMDavies]

Differentiating instruction with menus is an excellent resource to help develop Challenge and Choice in the classroom. Scary sometimes to give students freedom in their learning but the results can be surprising and fantastic. #rubiconPD #differentiation #learningbychoice
