A kind teacher don't just teach from books, but inspire confidence by always believing in their student's potential. #KindTeacher #Confidence #SheridanCollege

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Trying again is not a punishment.

Sometimes it is the moment a student gets to discover that the first attempt did not define what they were capable of.

A good teacher knows when to support, when to reteach, and when to say, “Give it one more shot.”

That second attempt can build more than a better answer.

It can build confidence.

Educational Assistants often use calm and positive reinforcement to help students stay focussed, manage emotions and succeed. #TechEd #SheridanCollege #EA

Tech Ed provides adaptive digital tools and assistive software that allows me to customize lessons. It helps students with diverse learning needs to succeed at their own pace. #TechEd #SheridanCollege #AssistiveTechnology

Kids share their feelings to feel connected and understood, not for you to fix their problems. your quiet and steady presence shows them they are safe and never alone. #EDUC25738 #Parenting #MentalHealth

[Mental Health Center Kids @MHCenterKids]

Sometimes, our children aren’t looking for advice, solutions, or answers.

They just want to know that we’re there. ❤️

In the middle of busy days, unfinished tasks, and endless distractions, it’s easy to say, “In a minute.”

But that little story they’re telling you?
That random question?
That moment they want to show you something?

It matters to them.

So pause when you can. Look up.
Put the phone down. Listen.

Because when children feel heard today, they learn that their feelings and their voice matter. And that’s something they can carry with them for years to come. 🫶

Sometimes, listening is one of the most loving things we can give.

💡 There are still individuals (hey #professors!) who believe low grades are evidence of a challenging class. Grades are a reflection of the effectiveness of teaching! With exceptional teaching, there's no limit to how many excel. #LeadInclusion #LeadInclusion #UDL

A school principal is the chief leader $ administrator who guides daily operations, maintains discipline & supports student learning. They work closely with teachers, staff & students to create a safe, organized & positive school environment. #EDUC25738 #NationalPrincipalsMonth

It only takes one educator who truly sees and believes in a student to fundamentally change their potential and life path. #EDUC25738 #SheridanCollege #Educators #Motivation

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

A student may hear the same doubt so many times that it starts to sound like truth.

“I’m just bad at math.”
“I’m not a reader.”
“I can’t do this.”

Then one teacher notices something different.

They point out the improvement nobody else mentioned. They hand the student another chance instead of another label. They keep expecting growth even when the student has stopped expecting it from themselves.

We don’t always know which conversation, comment, or quiet vote of confidence a student will carry with them.

Sometimes believing in a student comes first.

Their belief in themselves catches up later.

[Samira Patel @SamiraPatel26]

An accommodation only works when it is reliable, as unpredictable support prevents people from building effective routines. Without consistent delivery, a person spends their energy anticipating gaps rather than actually performing at their best. #Consistency #EDUC25738 #IEP

IEP Tip Tuesday

An accommodation only helps if it's provided consistently.

[Samira Patel @SamiraPatel26]

In a school setting, every action a student takes results in a direct and corresponding reaction from their teachers or classmates. #EDUC25738

Every action has a reaction. https://t.co/ZFaG1K9JiP

Feedback is information about how students are progressing towards a learning goal. Effective feedback involves an ongoing exchange and, ideally, a dialogue between instructors and students aimed at improvement and growth (Boud and Dawson, 2021). #EDUC25738

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

🔄 Periodic feedback loops where students and teachers discuss progress collaboratively create transparency and strengthen the learning partnership. What’s your process for meaningful feedback discussions? #TeacherTwitter

Relationship-building is central to education. Students are more likely to engage when they feel safe, valued, understood, and respected. #EDUC25738 #Inclusion #SheridanCollege

Asking questions during a read-aloud helps children learn how to ask good questions. Asking questions will help children develop ways of thinking and speaking that will help them to be successful in school. #EDUC25738 #ActiveReader #Scholastic #SheridanCollege
