Get ready for an exodus of educators that has been building for decades. We are losing so many amazing educators because people, who could never be an educator, blame and attack educators for society’s troubles.
Teaching is like parenting, they don't need you to be their friend, they need you to:
*set high expectations,
*set parameters to feel secure
* support/encourage them
* focus on their strengths
*allow them to fail safely
*freedom to be authentic
*be patient
@GoogleForEdu @adamlewisclark @Google Example NC A&T posts a 60% Acceptance Rate. A 70% Freshman Retention. Also a 48% Graduation Rate. Only deep digging shows that’s a 6 yr figure. Actual 4 yr is 21%.
Teach ‘em they’ll need larger pockets to finish here.
@GoogleForEdu @adamlewisclark @Google Statistics are like bikinis. They show a lot but they don’t show everything. https://t.co/O3FoYCy00X and College Board have incredible filters students need to learn to implement. Nearly 4,200 4 & 2 year colleges nationwide.
@LortonRichie Do you add urgency to your task? Soldiers died while reloading muskets post-firing. Colonials still ran out of ammunition. Their accuracy w/primitive weapon was a pyrrhic victory. #skmsramilychat
When students say, "Why do we need to know Aristotle's 3 Musketeers?" "Why do we study Speech? We text everything now." This is your <mic drop> response. #ntchat#teachingenglish#mlearning
@LenaEpstein The notions of religious freedom and national unity just took a step backward. We have videos of Leo Frank's lynching in heads. Want to promote Unity? Have a rainbow of clergy behind a rabbi who is saying Kaddish for 11. #standagainsthate
@LenaEpstein Lost teachable moment for Jewish rabbi 2 say Kaddish. Would have been a strong picture with VP. Instead, you offered a Christian masquerading as a Jew who believes I must accept Christ as my savior. At Shiva? Tone Deaf.
YES! #ByronBears Student innovators wanted! I won't lie - I am pretty excited about this! Emails sent to all HS Parents and students today!!!! The application is NOW OPEN! Idea inspired by @mcdowell_bob@nsnedden and their students! #designthinking
