***NEWS FLASH***
Failing Students, Papers covered in red, and Communicating your disappointment in Students IS NOT inspiring. Supporting Students, Meaningful Feedback, and Positive Relationships IS Life Changing!!! Thanks for being that Teacher that believes in ALL Kids! #edchat
Sadly there is a pressure to be paperless. This is putting the focus on the wrong thing. Learning should be the focus and kids should touch something other than a screen.
Let's not be naive, students are looking things up ... hiding their phone under the desk or in their bag. Look it up is a cultural norm. Instead of hiding it, design to use it! #soar2x#gpsummit
The Best Teachers are Great because of Choices they make. Not Talent. Choices such as:
🍎 Showing Patience when students don't learn
🍎 Being Love when kids are hurting
🍎 Listening
🍎 Being Positive
🍎 Choosing to make Every student feel like the favorite!
JK Rowling's life wasn't always so magical. #HarryPotter was rejected over a dozen times before a publisher took a chance on it. When times are rough, success might be just around the corner! ✨🔮#FamousFails#inspiration
Some of the best professional learning takes place when you’re hanging out with the teacher down the hall. Workshops and conferences are nice... but they will never replace meaningful collaboration within the school.
Oldest daughter’s homework (Year 5) is about internet safety. Please help her by showing how far a tweet can go in 24 hours (considering her Daddy has a staggering 163 followers!!) It is now 5.30pm @DonisthorpeSch@Pauletonline@BurtonMailNews
Our kids will rock testing next week! Thanks to our great families and teachers who work hard EVERY day! @mrs_queen_b @hedoobennett https://t.co/OqmtJ8eF77
