Teachers do interventions when students are struggling. What other professions do something similar?

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

Especially in December!

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

The average child asks 200-300 questions a day. So if an elementary school teacher has 20 students, they are asked a minimum of 4,000 questions a day… 4,000!

If your partner/spouse is an elementary school teacher, THIS is why they don’t want any questions when they get home.

@educationweek Please let the kids eat.

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

Yep. It’s a great way to reset after a bad day too. Reminding the student that I’m still here for them and yesterday is gone.

Educator Heather Gauck shares a few key practices that can help any educator leverage technology to ensure every student has what they need to learn and grow.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

So true! 🙌

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

Transfer. Yep. That’s the one I feel like I’m still working on getting to with my students.

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

Steps to mastery of a skill: 1. acquisition (I did it once) 2. fluency (I can do it consistently) 3. maintenance (I can keep doing it) 4. transfer (I can use it in new ways) (Hanson, et al., 1978) and still true. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

@Bored_Teachers Cell phones are ok, but not always. At a hockey game? Put the phone away and watch the game! At the grocery store? Put the phone away and help get groceries!

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This! 🙌

Teachers' plates were already overloaded before the pandemic and the massive teacher shortage. Districts have to find ways to lessen the unrealistic expectations.

I’ve always loved Choice. It allows students more but in. Now to work on Curation.

Great ideas to make a performance assessment after learning more about #digitalcitizenship. #SMU622

[Learning.com @learningdotcom]

As essential as #digitalcitizenship is today, you need to give students more than one opportunity to learn, practice and demonstrate understanding. And they don't have to be on devices! Check out some fun ideas:

@KelleyHanson21 I love Neil Gaimann and his take on reading! It should be fun! #SMU622

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

Oooh! Understanding the reason is so important. Not just because the teacher says its so. #SMU622

[Kaye @kwerdz]

Bonus: I'm also finding it very soothing to watch this animation. What say you, #mathchat #middleschoolmath?

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

That's my main job as a third grade math teacher! Show them multiple ways, ask for other ways, and allow them to learn the way that works best for them. #explainyourthinking #SMU622

[Ms.D @AlyssaDeorio]

I never penalize students for getting the right answer that uses a different method. New math is scary! This I do not understand but as long as the students do they can teach it to me so that I can understand when I see more students doing this! #SMU622

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

@jenna_byron15 Janitors, lunch workers, and custodians have all fixed some major problems throughout our school day. Important people for sure! #SMU622

[Stephanie Kemp @StephK837]

These are great free websites for spicing up your GSlides! My morning message is going to be way cool next year. #SMU622

For all the #teachers out there who have students using Google Slides, here's the video I send to my students to show them 5 quick & easy ways they can step up their Google Slides game!

Good list and reminder. All sounds familiar. #SMU622

[TCEA @TCEA]

Are you doing any of these?
