Teachers provide the canvas to paint the portrait of a graduate, but the students bring the colors and hold the brush. Together we can create a masterpiece! #EmpoweSPS @ThompsonGHSMath

Love this. #IgniteSPS

Great video I found at #IgniteSPS that all teachers can utilize in any format! What happens after an assessment is often the most neglected part of the whole process. (Guilty.) Keep Building!

Teaching is a constant grind. Therefore @CanvasLMS is always improving efficiency for teachers. Utilizing hings like Google Drive, Cidilabs templates & buttons, and importing content (attached) help make the insurmountable doable. Learning these is a #gamechanger. #CertifySPS

Embedding a Homework Help Form in my Daily Agenda Page has saved a TON of time in our crazy schedule! Knowing the questions ahead of class time helps preparation and maximizes class time! #CertifySPS

@nearpod I have been seeing a lot of this. So have my students this morning.

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

@nearpod I am wondering why I haven't been able to get into Nearpod at all!

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

@DrJ_Anderson @officialSPS Thanks stranger!

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

A4: I liked the flexibility, specificity and practicing the methods we look to implement (Mastery Paths). I took Google for granted and found it to become a weakness, even though it's so commonly used. This process attacked that weakness and made it a strength. #certifysps

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

@MrJJSully Also, do they want to be in my class for the right reason? #ethics #certifysps

[Jeremy Sullivan, Ed.D. 🏳️‍🌈 (He/Him/His) @DrJJSully]

The hardest question I ever asked myself as a teacher was, "Would I want to be a student in my class?" Talk about keeping yourself accountable! #CertifySPS https://t.co/I2hasSk0o9

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

@TeresaDavison6 @kwilliams481 Yes please. https://t.co/gEblDuyMAj

[Teresa Davison @TeresaDavison6]

@kwilliams481 Can you share an example of this? Sounds fascinating. #CertifySPS

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

A3: Embrace the struggle. That is where we, and our students, learn the most, and what we learn at these times is usually what really matters. #CertifySPS

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

A3: Failure's an option. A good one, if you learn from it. If you consistently try to advance your craft to better student learning you are doing right by them. If you stand still, the world doesn't wait, so you're falling behind. Complacency is the enemy of progress. #certifysps

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

Did anyone notice on @nearpod however that the embedding option was gone for lessons? Maybe it had just changed and I cannot find it. #certifysps https://t.co/gMIscYSpMq

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

A2: I combined Mastery Paths with an ALEKS Pre and Post-test on my linear systems unit in Algebra. I use Nearpod often in daily lessons and next year plan to revamp my entire curriculum using it. In every lesson, student learning is personalized at some point. #certifysps

@MsRobbins5 @AnnaNelsonSPS I love @Desmos

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

A1: Mastery Paths in Canvas because it's personalized & constantly assesses. I also like the drawing slide on Nearpod because students can be themselves anonymously & get immediate feedback from others. Wish it were more math capable or we had touch screens though. #certifysps

#certifysps Hey, It's Kyle Thompson. Math Teacher and Academy Advocate and Glendale High School. Freshman beware! Go Team Blue!

[Mr. Thompson @ThompsonGHSMath]

@TeamMillennial_ @GlendaleWalkout this isn't me taking a stand either way. I am not in the position to. But it makes me proud that young leaders are doing what they can to advocate change and have their voices heard in a positive harmless approach. #reallearning #hopeforthefuture
