the whole school needs to be involved to fix the achievement gap, not just one teacher. #edp304f13

"race and ethnicity alone does not determine your achievement" #edp304f13 other factors also contribute to the achievement gap

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

@artoti94 right! how would teachers know what to teach, or how to go about certain topics

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

standards give students a goal to work towards #edp304f13

[Mikalah Shaw @mikalah16]

Without standards how would we gauge student success and compare achievement between counties and states? #edp304f13

it's hard to incorporate constructivism in large classrooms i.e college #edp304f13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Constructivism can lead to effective problem solving skills, but should be balanced by teacher lead guidelines. #EDP304F13

[Micala Griffin @MicalaGriffin]

Be creative in the classroom, but avoid activities that allow more out-going students to dominate #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

students have to be able to implement what they learn, not just memorize for the test, then forget #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

constructivism gives students a chance to express themselves #edp304f13

technology can be helpful to research information that isn't readily available in the classroom #edp304f13

[Cody Davidson @cddavidsncsu]

There are definitely challenges to using technology, but in the end we're in the 21st century and we need to update our teaching #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

is technology too intrusive to people's privacy? #edp304f13

[Nicole Pellegrino @NicolePelleg31]

what about those shy kids that don't want to participate?? technology is super useful #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

jobs require technology, so why not incorporate them in the classroom? #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

give students averages after each test along with lowest scores and highest scores so they have some sort of comparasion #edp304f13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

give children incentives to get good grades, like hanging up good work on the white board #masterygoal #edp304f13

[Alexandra Toti @artoti94]

"That was juicy", said Judge Gray. #edp304F13

[Sarah Little @_Sarah_Little_]

self - esteem should be "undertoned" in the classroom- students unaware that it's there #edp304f13

[Brianna Teague @bmteagu2]

Building self esteem is not intended to glorify mediocrity, but to help cope with failure and build into the future #edp304f13 #greenteam
