A2: One of my lifesavers is a SmartBoard! It’s allows me to quickly find a wide variety of visuals for the entire class to see and use as tools on a worksheet. It also helps keep clutter from the classroom, with Online manipulatives, calendar, posters, etc.
@MsMac321#edu255chat students don’t work for people they don’t like. Invest a lot of time getting to know your students. It pays off dividends in the end. Also, allow students to truly get to know you. It’s ok to be open and vulnerable with students. It makes your more relatable!
Hello #edu255chat I'm Rachelle, Spanish and STEAM teacher, author, attorney, and consultant, glad to join in today! Thanks to @MsDeJa17 for the invite!
Welcome to #edu255chat !! I will be your host this afternoon. We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts, reflections, and tools today. Let us know who you are and where you’re from!
Let’s get started!
A2: Create a community/family within your classroom! Build relationships before opening textbooks. Students deserve to feel safe, loved, and heard - the rest will fall into place! #teachpos

A1: The main challenge is balancing the needs of the whole class w/the needs of the individual that need special attention. It involves time & energy, tact in not singling out the individual or losing the class. Best scenario is using the class to help the individual.
@Shapiro_WTHS A1 one of the bigger challenges is that personalized, individualized learning--differentiation is expected and best practice--doesn't align with standardized grading and testing. Edu needs to be responsive, and existing systems of assessment don't respect that need

Welcome to #teachpos! Thx for joining our awesome group. Please tell us your name - title and tag a few friends to join. Tonight’s topic is about reaching and teaching those challenging students! ❤️
A1: I like to use GoNoodle to introduce different SEL skills! They’re familiar with it as a fun way to have a break, so throwing in some fun movement and introducing breathing techniques, as well as other coping skills is always helpful to get the conversation started!
🙃After some remote days🏡, quarantined days 😷, & snow days❄️, I'm thinking Monday would be a great day for a virtual field trip 🧳paired with the language experience approach✏️. #ell2point0
