@edutopia Well to start with, I've moved from thinking about 'discipline' to 'expectations'. This simple reframe can be empowering.

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

@WhistleblowingT No. In part, it's also about being a role model for a better life/work balance. Leave campus. Get out there in the sunshine. Have a coffee. Get some exercise. Ofc there are some times you need to work later, but let's not get too pious about this.

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

Accurate.

One of the coolest emails to get on a Friday afternoon? Finding out which will be next week's 'Musical Country of the Week'!

...and it will be... Zambia! 🇿🇲🎶

@ISRprimary @LizAMFree @RuthMiskinEdu We love using RWI at our school here in Frankfurt! It's remarkable how effective it is with #EAL and #bilingual learners, too!

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

Wonderful to see our Grade 4's out and about again, this time at the @jmfrankfurt presenting their shadow-puppet stories.

You can see more about this story (and the performance) here: https://t.co/D9oYt6w4Uj

@jjmajeski Such great advice. Thanks, Jeremy! ...and that's a book we can definitely all benefit from adding to our professional libraries.

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

What's the best advice you've ever received/given to manage (constant) low-level #classroom disruptions, esp in lower primary/elementary?

Please RT - and thank you! 👐🏼

Perhaps it’s time to rethink how we define “world class education” to consider the harm caused by racism

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

@EduCelebrity Indeed! If your classroom doesn't look like it belongs on Pinterest, does learning even happen?

[The Behaviour Headteacher @BehaviourHead]

I currently see a lot of students who seem to believe (along with their parents) that it’s never their fault. Teaching students to take ownership and responsibility of their actions will help them become accountable and give them greater integrity

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

@jjmajeski @emilymeadowsorg @FIS_School This is fantastic work! 👏🏼

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

Thanks for the follow @ISLuxembourg and @MrWilcoxBWX !

When teachers can identify the fluid nature of their students' emotions, they have the most accurate and up-to-date perception of the social emotional state of their students—and the classroom as a whole.

The opportunity for creativity begins the moment we don't know what we're doing.

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

@WeinsteinEdu I wholeheartedly agree!

[Nick Praulins @MrPraulins]

Are you qualified Primary School teacher? Would you like to live and work in #Frankfurt, one of Europe's most connected cities? I'm looking for an amazing Primary Years teacher to join the team in August 2022. https://t.co/mrYSEkNpLv
