Two weeks into this school year:

•Friday at 3PM is an AMAZING feeling.
•Private, restorative conversations are best.
•Pronouncing names correctly is a must!
•Showing your true self as a teacher and a person helps capture student interest.
•Don’t sweat the small stuff.

A "gut-wrenching" day spent shadowing students led researchers to conclude, "school was such a lonely experience for far too many.”

Find out how coaches can play a role in driving engagement.

@WhereisBishop My favorites! I also like those "pop-it" toys in the shape of a ball. I don't know what they're called, but I got it st Five Below. Addicting! (OK, I admit it... I got it for myself, not my students. 😆)

@SullivanKowalsk @MeridenK12 @WMSLopezAP @showerdaWMS @WMSLopezAP, is that Chenster? And... Anepsy? Oh, man! So sad I couldn't be there in person! Glad I got this evidence, though. 😁

@showerdaWMS @whywashingtonms @pvcivitello @WMSLopezAP @bhaeffner If someone could tell Mr. O'Neil that a group of sophomores are still talking about how he would stay behind and coteach one of my ELA classes.... and how it was one of their BEST times at WMS (and MINE).... I would greatly appreciate it! I know he would, too. 😊

I love this! So well deserved! I'm lucky enough to work across the hall from @dbanas57! She's always so positive & kind. 😊

Thursdays don’t stop the jerseys! Senior Armani Ortiz gave his jersey to Mrs. Banas! Armani spoke about how welcoming Mrs. Banas was when he first started at Maloney and is thankful she was his teacher. Thank you Mrs. Banas for all that you do! @ArmaniOrtizz4 @dbanas57

@MissMarisaVolo This is so cool! I just showed my freshman accelerated class just for fun. It's inspiring. Maybe I can think of a fun chalk activity for English lol.

@JonGordon11, I've been feeling your tweets lately. I appreciate you! 🙂

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Not today! Don’t let the negativity bring you down.

Remember ... You have greatness inside you. You are worthy. You are loved. Go make today great!

RT to encourage a few friends!

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

SUCCESS is often measured by comparison to others. EXCELLENCE, on the other hand, is all about being the best we can be and maximizing our gifts, talents and abilities to perform at our highest potential. Pursue excellence today.

[Mirëlinda Dema @MsMDema]

@WMSLopezAP @whywashingtonms @showerdaWMS @WMSGannon @pvcivitello @MeridenK12 I see @MrsDuffy7E doing awesome things. Keep it up! 😄

[Mirëlinda Dema @MsMDema]

@MrsDuffy7E Looks awesome! You'll have to tell me all about it over some bubble tea. 😉

Culturally responsive teaching is "about engaging the brain’s memory systems so we’re creating lessons that lean into students’ cultural traditions and values." Try implementing it in your classroom this #HispanicHeritageMonth.

Instruction for
English Learners/Multilingual Learners is most effective when language is infused and amplified throughout rather than a sidenote or afterthought.
