High Ab $
Comp Sci/cyber $
Soc/Emotional $
Career Ladders $

Pilots/pockets are great, but IN needs lg scale implementation.
What do our students want in a Principal or Teacher? Someone who not just listens to them but encourages them to find their voice! Someone who advocates not just for them but for their voice to be heard! Be their Lorax! #edugladiators#satchat#leadupchat
If you are a parent and appreciate your child's teacher, let them know. Teachers often only hear the negative and feeling appreciated is pretty awesome. #ptchat#edchat
Google Classroom is POWERFUL when the teacher is absent.
Write sub plans and post them in Classroom from your bed in your PJs.
Check in on students throughout the day. (If you want.)
Make changes on the fly. Almost like you're there! #DitchBook#googleclassroom#gttribe

While information is being presented, continually monitor students’ levels of attention. If energy is waning, you might shorten the length of the chunk so that students can begin processing the information in small groups. #studentengagement
Consider directly teaching students about the two theories found in Dweck’s (2006) research: the fixed theory and the growth theory. Have students identify their personal theories, and keep those conversation alive. #growthmindset
"Homework in primary school has an effect of around zero - in high school it's larger. Which is why we need to get it right." -@john_hattie Read this article about how these schools are being strategic about what they're sending home with kids https://t.co/QIhdxg1pNL
