Here to share what I know, and learn what I don't. Future high school English teacher.

Literacy in an English Language Arts classroom isn’t only what you can read and write, it should involve your interactions with other students and whether you are talking about a news article or drawing a scene from a book you need a plethora of literacy skills #edr321

If students are engaged and interested in what they are learning they will be much more willing to learn, in my opinion for project based learning to be most effective you need to provide students with a solid foundation to help reach this goal! #pbl #edr321

Learning is not achieved through just "hands-on" activities, their minds must also be engaged. #EDR#321

Grading based off completion often results in grading based off work ethic not comprehension. Work ethic is important, but make sure students actually understand the material as well. #edr321

Technology is not the answer to educating students, but it is a useful tool with endless possibilities and opportunities, there are so many opportunities to teach and learn if used effectively #EDT370

@Anthony_Rhcp Hey if you have any free time on Wednesday nights, you should come to @GVSU and talk about teaching music. We meet from 6-8:50 in downtown Grand Rapids!!! Please DM me and let me know! #EDR321

Make sure you’re aware of what students do and don’t already know before teaching a lesson #edr321

[Tyler Wright @TwrightGVSU]

A 2 week lesson is often more dependent on the previous 2 years than those 2 weeks for the level of success with the concept. If students don’t have the right foundational knowledge their mastery of the subject can’t grow. #edr321

@MissSchweda Hello fellow future educator!! #EDT370

#RidleyScott: "It's extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do, drawing the student out, igniting independence and encouraging the design of your own future. #Teaching is the most important of all professions. Sort that out and social problems will get sorted out.”

[Tyler Wright @TwrightGVSU]

There is no student who is incapable of completing their work, they just may need varying levels of assistance #edr321 #analyzingstudentwork

[Tyler Wright @TwrightGVSU]

Don’t worry so much about how you like to teach, focus more on student interactions and how they like to learn and stay involve #edr321

It’s interesting to see how twitter can be so much more of a useful education tool than it was when I would simply read the tweets from my high school friends.

Students learn in a variety of ways, lecturing may be good for some, but we need to do what is best for all. #edr321
