Told my kids all year that I wanted them to perform so well that the district thinks I took the test for them:) like in the movie Stand and Deliver. Teenagers love positive reinforcement!

Teacher tip of the day: High five or fist bump any kids you pass in the hallway. Ask them what their name is and how their day is going. It feels good to be noticed, especially when you’re in middle school!

@jschultzf3 @SteveTamNJ @tastyliveshow @ORCashFlowPro @KoguanLeo I read this on a screen but I totally agree:)

Teacher tip of the day:Take the time to enjoy the kids you teach, they are awesome and can be the best part of your day if you create the culture that allows them to do that for you!

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

@TrevorMuir I think most school systems offer the opportunity, but it comes down to a plethora of factors. Teacher buy in, the students family life, and the community at large…

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

@jschultzf3 What about Dogecoin?

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

I think she has some great points and there is a lot of project-based learning happening already some but @mrbbettis I think it starts at the university level and trickles down. We need better ways to assess college readiness!

[Brian A. Bettis @drbbettis]

Many arguments have been made that grading and accountability are necessary for remote learning. Interesting points made regarding grading. “Students work harder, learn more and are much more likely to thrive in school when they are intrinsically motivated and self-determined.”

@mrbbettis @TrevorMuir Thanks, I have read Kids Desereve It, but I’ll check out the other two. I read another one by jo boiler called What’s Math got to do with it?

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

So what’s a must read for a teacher over the summer?

[Trevor Muir @TrevorMuir]

I've always found that the more real I am with my students, the more real they are with me. And when that happens, their potential for learning is limitless.

@hselmore @DrTeresaSanders Do you work in a public school? We are always told no bc of allergies. One of the many reasons Charter schools call my name:)

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

Maybe they could have at least a few in the school for kids to take turns caring for to help with those that have allergies.

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

@DrTeresaSanders @Leanneruston1 Yep, maybe prisons would have more empty cells if we started this:)

So this conversation has started, but where do we go from here, how do we begin to address the issue and challenge the policy-makers? https://t.co/C1QzUWeE6i

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

@AGHoulihan @_PrincipalSmith It would be great to hear your thoughts on this.

[Josh Carlson @MrJoshCarlson]

This is powerful! https://t.co/gjc4Rl4Dmv
