I'm currently studying co-teaching methods at #latech#latechteacher, and I found a quote by Michelle Gill @MrsGill_ that I love because it really just describes teaching as a whole: "It's about instructional practice, not position."
#icoteachNACT#latechteacher
When teaching adults, it is important to 1.) provide a supportive learning environment with multiple resources, breaks, and opportunities to ask questions and 2.) use a variety of learning methods, including hands-on.

@TheMsDudley Some administrators need to read this quote because they look at test scores and SPS as the end goal and totally discount the students as "people", ftgc2018
@CraigPerrier#ftgc2018 I plan to incorporate communication between my students and students in other states and countries. I want them to see that communicating with people in other areas makes them more open and empathetic to the world around them.
@CraigPerrier It's hard to list them all. There was so much information! I enjoyed seeing the classroom set-ups. I also enjoyed learning about different resources, especially Generation Global. #FTGC2018
Tonight's webinar was so inspiring and informative! I especially appreciated the speakers' frankness about feeling overwhelmed while they were going through the course work. It always feels good to know you're not alone. #EngTGC
@AdjectiveAmeri1 I think that's something that is lacking. Kids tend to look inward and fail to see that the problems they face in their communities are similar to those faced by people their age in other countries and cities.
@brian_c_powell Same here, Brian. It gave me chills to watch those videos and to see how much those students were enjoying fighting for things that mattered to them! What an inspiration!
I love the idea behind Global Kids! I just loved watching the videos and seeing those beautiful, animated faces. They knew that they were making a difference, and they were completely invested. We need this everywhere! #SETGC
"Students often disengage because they don't see the point of what they're learning, they don't see how it relates to their lives, or to the lives they might imagine for themselves. They don't see the relevance of education to their lives." Ferdinand Reimers
