Just because you look like your students doesn't mean you know how to teach them #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Help students build connections between their community, national, and global identities whatever those might be. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

We should use students' differences & similarities to help them. No good is done by being "color blind" #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Teachers need to acknowledge that race and culture are not the same thing. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Just because NC has a high graduation rate doesn't mean we have a good education system. Kids still move on without passing test #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Teachers can cater to multiple intelligences by giving multiple methods of completing projects. boards, skits, songs etc. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Technology can be super distracting if the classroom isn't organized well enough. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Though technology can make it easier to cheat, people will find a way without it. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

It's important to remember that not all students have access to technology out of class and it could be unfair to require that #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Online textbooks would be really convenient, but if a student forgets that one device then they don't have any of their books #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Who's to say that we're "falsely inflating" a child's sense of self? Maybe they are the sh!t #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

It's possible to teach kids to like themselves without teaching them that they're good at everything? #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

It would be difficult to differentiate every lesson for every student, but teachers could change up their style lesson to lesson #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

changing reinforcements should be making the gratification more and more delayed. #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Are students going to get so used to reinforcements in school that they become frustrated in the real world? #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

How often do students become dependent on reinforcements and how often do they become motivated after reinforcements taper out? #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Being popular is not license to be a douche bag the way it's portrayed to be in movies and on tv #edp304f13

[amy ballard @aaballhard]

Popularity is increasingly about being good at a lot of things, and less about having one identifying talent or characteristic #edp304f13
