Encourage rather than embarrass.

Compliment rather than complain.

Support rather than stifle.

Help rather than hamper.

I have found that the more I greet students in the hallway, the more they make eye contact with me... and the more they initiate a greeting with me the next day.

It’s usually not hard to make connections with kids... but the adults need to be willing to take the first step.

When a special education teacher and a regular classroom teacher are teamed in the classroom, they can multiply each other’s strengths. Here’s a look at a successful co-teaching partnership: https://t.co/iJgP8fLc90 #speced #coteaching

As educators, the more we know about ‘who’ we teach, the more effective we will be with ‘what’ we teach.

This morning we asked our students to invite in their extra special person to school to enjoy breakfast and a tour.

Many of our kids came unattended.

We planned ahead and with the help of a local church, 30 volunteers filled in.

By teaching students how to give proper and specific #feedback you are preparing them on how to write better essays, edit essays, & help their peers with essays! #EDU223 #standard6

[Kali Hopkins @Ms_KaliHopkins]

Allowing students to resubmit their work multiple times in order to get more #feedback on it is an amazing opportunity not just for them but for educators as well! They can improve grades, thinking skills, editing skills, & so much more #EDU223

[Kali Hopkins @Ms_KaliHopkins]

#Feedback to students can be so helpful, but only if you do it right! You need to be as specific as possible and make students want to think about their work when they get it back #EDU223 #standard6 #education

Every single educator out there needs to read this article. It can help explain the behaviors of so many different students & how you, as an educator, can help students. It talks about how to process the emotions/thoughts you get from what students tell you. #edutopia #education

[Literature @Literature]

When you read a work of literature or poetry, you connect with both the author, regardless of their time in history, and each person throughout the past, present and future who has/will read the same work, and they become your direct family, the love between you true and mutual.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

When someone approaches you with an idea, keep a few things in mind before responding:

They are bringing the idea to you, that says something.

They spent time deliberating & considering possible ramifications.

They believe in the idea, otherwise, it wouldn't be shared.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Schools in which teachers have more say have distinctly better teacher retention and celebrate much more successes. Administrators need to support the philosophy that Professional Learning should be teacher led.
