Was asked to reflect on the qualities of a favorite teacher during School of Faith today.Thank you @andrews_math for being happy, knowledgeable, and for building confidence in me and many others who have been blessed by your teaching.More than one of your former students at RCS!
Today in PLC, a colleague described how she keeps a spread sheet of things that happen on screen. Like a cat walks across the screen. Instead of chiding the student, she records, “Student has a cat. Ask its name later.” That tiny little move is about relationship now and later.
We ask our students to be life-long learners. Well... as educators are confronted with the reality of adapting to radically different instructional models... this is the perfect opportunity for us to practice what we preach & model for our students a little “life-long learning.”
"A gigantic body of research shows that the relationships in a kid's life are like the roots of a tree," said educator @KentPekel. "When kids have strong roots they can grow, they can thrive, they can withstand the storms life throws at them." https://t.co/bPd8kknyUz
We're in a golden age of bad leaders covering their bad leadership with bad data visualization. Will your students spot the badness? #iteachmath h/t @nilshead

Quit sending Xenninials and Millennials things to print at home. We don't have a printer. And if we do, we haven't found the power cord from our last move. We had been surviving on secretly using our work printers for years.
@mrsdenham3 I agree with you on both points. That Bitmoji Craze for Educators Facebook page just never stops- is full of great ideas. I have shared the resources for creating podcasts with many teacher friends and coworkers.
Recently introduced to the ISTE Standards. As a math teacher, I am particularly interested in the Computational Thinking Competencies. Interesting related article shared by @joboaler #edtechksu https://t.co/IHSz5hGuxU
Students can demonstate understanding in a variety of ways. Flipgrid, Padlet, Anchor, Wakelet- All excellent, user-friendly tools for students to show what they know. Rubrics can help facilitate this. #edtechksu#getreadyRCSstudents#ditchworksheets
A math coordinator at an urban, Catholic school with a high poverty population. We know all kids can learn and it is our responsibility to meet them where they’re at…and help them move forward! COVID-19 presents unique challenges to our community #edtechksu#upforthechallenge
