Be thankful for everything, every person, and every event that has happened in your life. They have shaped the person you are today. #TaooftheWeek #EdPsych347

Being in the midst of the holiday season, teachers must be aware of the fact that not every student celebrates the same holidays. Teachers need to make sure their lessons and activities relate to everyone in the classroom. #HowToDoIt #EdPsych347

Operant conditioning may not always be the best tactic for your classroom. Classically condition your students to be intrinsically motivated that way they don't become too reliant on rewards #AhaMoment #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Someone will always be looking up to you, whether you know it or not. Use that to change the world. #TaoOfTheWeek #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Students will not engage with content if they are not able to relate to it. Know your students!! #AhaMoment #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Create a classroom community and you will have students who are willing and ready to participate and engage not only in class, but with one another #HowToDoIt #EdPsych347

Trying different techniques and assessments will give all students the opportunity to succeed. Don't just stick to "your way". #EdPsych347 #TaoOfTheWeek

Assessment does not mean only tests. Knowing your students will help guide you in giving the most appropriate assessment for your class. #EdPsych347 #HowToDoIt

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

A test is not always valid if it is reliable. Teachers need to make sure assessments are both reliable AND valid. #EdPsych347 #AhaMoment

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Know your students well enough to know how they are motivated, that way you can do what you need to motivate them! #HowToDoIt #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Motivation come from different places and has different purposes. Each person is motivated differently. #AhaMoment #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

You are going to be a role model to your students no matter what. Never forget they are always watching you. #ToaoftheWeek #EdPsych347

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Teaching students that their efforts will pay off will help encourage them that what they're doing is not for nothing #Edpsych347 #AhaMoment

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

A good teacher is open minded to the various ways students learn and organize information. #EdPsych347 #TaoOfTheWeek

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Encourage metacognition in your classroom. Students should recognize how they best learn #EdPsych347 #HowToDoIt

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Implicit memories are the things we know how to do, but don't have to think about doing them, like driving home #EdPsych347 #AhaMoment

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Students are having to focus on all of the stimulants around them. Be patient as they work to focus on you. #EdPsych347 #HowToDoIt

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Memory is remarkable. Take advantage of students' memories to create a bond between your students as a whole class #EdPsych347 #TaoOfTheWeek

[Abbie Gilmour @abbiegilm519]

Reinforcement goes such a long way, use it to enforce the behavior you want to see. #EdPsych347 #TaooftheWeek

Having your students smile for just one minute a day could really change their days and create a positive environment #EdPsych347 #AhaMoment
