@mrspengwynn @arhurlbut This seems like such a good way to use before school space and to allow your students a different freeing environment to think. Staying crammed in an uncomfortable desk is not the way to learn. When students have space and movement they can be more comfortable and focus on task
@arhurlbut #5113Spring Wow! Look at @MansfieldISD new intermediate school. I find this to be an innovative idea because of the focus on learning neighborhoods and the collaboration hubs. This shows that they are putting student learning first! https://t.co/zifnXskOkD
Room to grow! Within @MansfieldISD's new intermediate school you’ll find learning neighborhoods and specialized STEM and fine arts academies mixed with warm materials, colorful graphics and collaboration hubs – a vibrant space for young minds to flourish. #FridayFavorite#TGIF
@jayne_moorman @arhurlbut @jayne_moorman @arhurlbut #5113Spring I think this is a cool and innovative way to use technology to involve parents in updates around the school. Do they teach parents how to use QR codes? That is something that I personally do not know how to do.
Positive reinforcements can absolutely discourage inappropriate behavior. My 5 year old son has been having behavior issues at school, this morning I offered him ice cream after school if he followed instructions, guess who got ice cream today. @drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
Many foundations of education are becoming obsolete such as reading an analog clock and writing a check. These are basic foundations being readily replaced by the digital age. Filing taxes online is in the rise and should be taught as well. @arhurlbut #5113Spring
@Kathryn_Baker92@drskmcm Absolutely! As educators we must wear many hats and be aware of our surroundings. Being able to identify a child's deficits and guide them to proper resources is the best way to combat the problem. @Kathryn_Baker92@drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
@jayne_moorman@drskmcm Teachers leave a lasting impression that shape the futures for every student they teach. Teachers teach more than curriculum, they teach how to be a good person and these traits are necessary to do that effectively @jayne_moorman@drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
"Be tolerant of accidents and mistakes, especially when children are attempting to do something on their own." -Anita Woolfolk
How you react to your child's mistakes form the way they will think of themselves into adulthood.. @drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
@melnaje@drskmcm I found this to be very interesting information as Middle Schools near me start ar 8:40am whereas High Schools start at 7:30am, have later extracurricular activities, and substantially more homework. #TWUEDUC5123 https://t.co/Y4M0S1R6yq
"...teenagers need about 9 hours of sleep, but...9 hours of sleep are impossible to get, and students are continually sleep deprived" (Sprenger, 2005) This explains so much about my high school students! Knowing development is vital to being a good teacher! @drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
Scaffolding a lesson is an important technique used to break down a lesson and give structure to support each section. This type of teaching gives students a safety net to be able to explore lessons and learning without jumping in blindly. #TWUEDUC5123@drskmcm
@drskmcm@jayne_moorman absolutely! teachers make an impression of a lifetime and aside from core knowledge, they teach us real life skills that become a part of who we are. #TWUEDUC5123 https://t.co/Qg0sQu1i9p
I had so many teachers that have taught me and influenced me for the good. With that saying it can go the other way too. I want to be one of the good ones. @drskmcm#TWUEDUC5123
"Nationally, the Federal Communications Commission notes that 7 out of 10 teachers assign homework that requires high-speed Internet access, yet in some communities, only 1 in 3 students can access the Web at home." https://t.co/Z00gq4eugO
