Class=courageously & respectfully addressing issues for the benefit of us all. @FBSpartans are connecting sports experiences & making them learning opportunities for us all to do better tomorrow in our lives. POWER in modeling how to put the focus on our RESPONSE to adversity. 👍

Let’s be driven by our philosophy. Let’s teach kids how to productively work with their emotions and protect them while they learn. Teaching isn’t just for academics.

It’s so awesome to see these fabulous MMS teachers, leading PD sessions! #LeadLearnMPS

#LeadLearnMPS Erin Gifford showing interactive Google slides. Melissa Gephardt used it for digital notebooks.

One of the hardest parts of being a teacher, is stepping back and “letting a student struggle”. Sometimes students need to work through the problem, utilize every resource, and then ask for help. #LeadLearnMPS

Great conversation going on in Room 604. How do we provide extra support to those students who are not on an IEP? How does that look in a co-taught classroom? Explo classroom? High school classroom? #LeadLearnMPS

This is absolutely amazing!

@bposluch @kwamealexander We’re going to continue on reading the rest of Kwame’s books, that I have available. This student is an athlete, and I’m trying to instill in him the idea that he’s still “cool” if he’s a leader both in the classroom and on the field. Kwame’s books help to promote that.

If there are elders around you—accessible elders—find them, talk to them, ask them questions, listen, honor them while they’re here.

[Ms. Hilmas @MsHilmasMMS]

What language do you use to describe an image to a blindfolded partner? How does that relate to the language you use in a personal narrative? How can you help your readers picture what you write? These #TerrificTrailblazers know the answer @moberlymiddle

Great class discussions require time and a teacher who’s willing to step back a little—but the results are worth it. https://t.co/AtH3aaVKAw

Talking about "boy books" and "girl books" closes doors for kids. Instead, focus on who might love a book. "Great for readers who love cars & adventure!" "Perfect for fashion enthusiasts!" That gives kids freedom to make their own choices without shame.

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

Oh, young people. If the frayed and tired elders only knew how amazing you are. If they could only hear your feet on the pavement, your voices at the door of change. If they could only remember themselves. Thank you.
