Phenomenon based units are great for creating common experiences and increasing student engagement!! #SMU622

[Next Generation Science Standards @OfficialNGSS]

Phenomena are not only key for instruction; they are also important for assessing the three dimensions.

Phenomena-centered classrooms give students and teachers a context in which to monitor ongoing progress toward understanding all three dimensions.

Positive contact home makes a huge difference! If I’m feeling low energy or short on time, I sometimes will write a short email instead of making a phone call. #smu622

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Try making positive phone calls to students’ families. https://t.co/Sbkh4zxFGM

I think about this a lot! The work of reimagining the education system requires imagination and movement away from the status quo #smu622

[Kareem Farah @Kareemfarah23]

Moving away from a one-size-fits-all model of teaching can be so challenging because we were all students of traditional education. So to make the shift, teachers not only need to deconstruct how they teach, but also how they learned.

If a child makes a bad choice it doesn't mean that they are a bad child. Do not label the child...instead correct the behavior and give the child an opportunity to make it right.

During distance learning, I loved having students respond in the chat with an emoji - favorite yellow emoji, tell the story of your weekend using emojis, etc #smu622

[Google for Education @GoogleForEdu]

Did you hear? World Emoji Day is this Sunday 📅

Join the celebration today with an #AppliedDigitalSkills lesson that can turn your students into authors by crafting a story using emojis in @googledocs → https://t.co/FolOZzGeIC #GrowWithGoogle

I think this is a great way to frame growth - it provides common language to talk about moving beyond your comfort zone, and makes a clear connection between goal-setting and growth in school and outside of school #SMU622

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

"When I started using this language and reminding students about their goals, they began to grow in so many different ways," says T @LiviaChanL.

@MrMorisTweets Wow! Great find, Grant. Love seeing all of these tech tools in one place 🤓

[Ms. Peterson @SciWithPeterson]

Always great to hear about a model from the person who created it! #SAMR #SMU622

[Ms. Peterson @SciWithPeterson]

@Caroline_1078 Great find! I love these ideas, and love that the ideas are specific to each subject area

[Ms. Peterson @SciWithPeterson]

@smolso21 I had a teacher do this in elementary school, and loved it! But I do wonder what that would look like for a core subject in middle or high school...

[Ms. Peterson @SciWithPeterson]

I could totally see myself including these warm-ups and exit tickets into student binders! Love that the template is so flexible. #SMU622

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

Looking for a way to incorporate warm-ups and exit tickets into your unit planning?
