@melnaje @drskmcm I love this quote! A child should never be left to feel hopeless.

I do think that positive reinforcement helps to discourage inappropriate behavior when used timely and consistently. It's important not to ignore negative behaviors, but continued encouragement for positive actions can have long lasting effects. #TWUEDUC5123 @drskmcm

"Again, all relationships are reciprocal;the teacher influences the parents,and the parents affect the teacher, and these interactions affect the child." It's important as teachers to remember that the relationships you have with your students' parents are important! @drskmcm

@CarleeCWilliams @drskmcm I love and agree with this! I think this why my favorite age to teach is the infants and toddlers. They learn and grow so much in those first few years. @CarleeCWilliams @drskmcm #TWUEDUC5123

"The brain can change, but it takes time, so teachers need to be consistent, patient, and compassionate in teaching and reteaching in different ways." This is especially true for deaf and hard of hearing students. Consistency and flexibility are key! @drskmcm #TWUEDUC5123

@melnaje @drskmcm I had never thought of this and it explains so much. It makes me wonder the difference teachers would see if classes started at say 10:00 instead of 7:30. I agree knowing development is so important for teaching. #TWUEDUC5123 @drskmcm @melnaje

@VirtualBX @DeafAction @accdistrict @AustinISD New toddler centers is a great way for TSD to reach deaf students sooner! The earlier exposed to language the better! @arhurlbut #5113Fall

While books and cursive are becoming obsolete, life skills such as finance,home economics and ethics should be taught. @arhurlbut #5113Fall
