I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have been able to teach such an amazing group of kids the past 2 years at UMS! I am even more thankful for all of the amazing teachers I have worked with and learned so much from. Next stop... Charlotte, NC😊
If I ever start a school, my top 10 priorities:
* no HW (k-8)
* no standardized tests (maybe 4th, 8th, 10th grade)
* multiple recesses
* physically active classrooms
* freshly made lunches
* S's strengths/ talents
* develop T & S leadership
* community projects
* Arts/ PE
* FUN
Using @googleslides today so that students can drag their name to which choice of assignment they are working on! This is so helpful to keep track of student progress #google
A2: I love collaborating! This was the first year that I truly had a team to work with. We are planning together EVERYDAY! Thank you for helping me grow so much as a teacher this year! 😊 @UMSmath @MsFrank_FCPS @Twiterlessmrjo1#mrsgrapes @MrKaneteacher #umsPLchat
This year has been all about collaboration for the #UMS math team! I have learned so much from each member of our team and am so grateful to get to work with such amazing people! @UMSmath @MsFrank_FCPS @LoisRoney @MauntelLindsey #twitterlessmrjohnson#grapes#watchusSOAR
@MS_PageSurfer Q5 COLLABORATE!! It is so helpful to work with others, ask questions, observe classrooms, and take risks. From there, reflect what would work best to meet the needs of your students. #UMSPLchat#FCPSvanguard
@MS_PageSurfer Q5: Be willing to take risks with blended learning! You have to be willing to try new techniques and models to find the best ways to meet student needs. Embrace any mistakes and mishaps along the way, and use them as reflection opportunities #UMSPLchat#FCPSVanguard
Q1: Blended learning has helped me to differentiate and group students to personalize their learning needs. I am able to group students for direct instruction and allow students agency by giving choice. #UMSPLchat#FCPSVanguard
This was the perfect after testing activity! I love working with @MsFrank_FCPS and her students. Thanks for sharing this great activity 🥰 #youdabest#goandfind
Want the students to see an opening 📬 message when they open up your #HyperDocs? You can add your own popup using the Script Editor! (note: it only shows up for users who are "can edit") #blendedlearing#EduGIFs https://t.co/Rxo5vmcNLX
No teacher can "personalize" instruction if they don't have a deep enough relationship with a student to know what is really going on with them personally and academically to trigger their curiosity and light their intrinsic motivation fire to excellence.
