Many educators can make a great lesson plan. The true talent of an educator is the ability to adjust it to the needs of students when it is actually taught live. #realtalk#teachergoals
We must be patient with students, but most importantly, teach them to be patient with themselves. Instant gratification does not lead to deep learning or big accomplishments. #growthmindset#teachergoals
The most important data we could have would not involve proficiency on standards. It would include how many students:
🔹Had breakfast that morning
🔹Feel loved
🔹Feel supported
🔹Are happy
🔹Have hope
Every day is a new chance to connect with your most difficult students. Wear them down with relentless kindness and encouragement. They are used to people giving up on them. #kidsdeserveit#teachergoals
Creating an #appsmash with @Flipgrid & @edpuzzle student project on a review of the 3 states of matter. Love how they prepped for their videos and questions in advance! @NewlinElem
I will be checking into Twitter for ideas from my awesome fellow educators and I will grow as a teacher. Thanks George for a wonderful presentation today. #nsdedchatr#spedchat#KidsDeserveIt
