Are we capitalizing on the relationship between background knowledge and comprehension when teaching students how to read? Check out this article from @natwexler https://t.co/a2o1T2M7JQ
When you COMPETE like a CHAMPION:
- You play with heart
- You stay process focused
- You keep a great energy
- You stay positive under pressure
- You have a winners body language
- You keep fighting until the very end
In order to facilitate effective collaboration there must be a focus and meaningful action. Preparing content ahead of a CTM ensures that our teachers have the opportunity to do good work for our students #CRM
For this example, the inquiry question shown was developed by teachers from an initial identified key issue for a student(s). Great work happening prior to the collaborative team meeting!!
Interesting: Evidence suggests that the efficacy of school-based mental health services is significantly enhanced when they are provided by school-based mental health professionals (Crisp et al., 2006).
My two favourite lines today @JodyCarrington are, “people won’t work hard for you if they don’t like you,” and “players will play harder, smarter, and without rest for coaches who they believe have their back.”
It is through mistakes that knowledge will grow. Teachers do not need to be the all knowing expert. It is better to model being a curious inquirer. Someone who seeks to play with knowledge, learn with students & model being OK making mistakes & learning from them. #LimitlessMind
We should probably work to see everybody, including ourselves, with soft eyes 💖. No question, you can feel it when somebody chooses to see the best in you.
Teachers: Exit tickets are pretty popular, but may I suggest using ENTRANCE tickets. If older material is mixed in with the new, you'd be combining three powerful learning strategies--retrieval, spacing, and interleaving--in a single exercise!
Had a wonderful morning preparing veggies and packing sandwiches. Gained some great perspective about all of the work and time that goes into feeding our city's students
@GPSD6 teachers, I challenge you to share with your students something you learned from your professional learning opportunities today or that you are working on. Model to them, what it means to be a life long learner. #abed#lifelonglearning

“Once you have learned how to ask questions — relevant and appropriate and substantial questions — you have learned how to learn and no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to know.” — Neil Postman and Charles Winegartner, TEACHING AS A SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY
Good Morning Sweet Ones!
Grace is usually required the most when it is the hardest to give. Make room today for the tough ones. The broken ones. The one's with the hardest exterior. They are hurting. And they will respond best to grace. I promise. ❤️
