I don't know about you, but every faculty member and student I've spoken with this week is completely burnt out. It's not even the end of September. What are we doing? How do we make this less ... whatever it is?

@ProfessorMarin please 🥺

Did you learn about Juneteenth in school? I didn’t. What’s included (and not included) in the curriculum matters. Let’s commit ourselves to telling the whole story to our students. https://t.co/PySPCSI4Ir

@ProfessorMarin omg, congratulations!! 💙

@caitlyn_weston I think this article ties in nicely with your point. When students know what the purpose of their learning is, they are more likely to be engaged, rather than just asking if what they’re learning will be on the test. #edu310final https://t.co/UfTfVo7lvT

Grossman discussed teaching HS literature. “Making connections between literature and students’ own experience is the major purpose for teaching literature at the high school level...students are encouraged to make sense of literature in terms of their own lives.” (Grossman, 26)

Was thinking a lot about @Elisabethfriedd ‘s comment about using songs to learn literary devices. In one of the classes I observed, students used music to learn rhyme schemes and rhythms in poetry. Similarly, they were allowed to choose and analyze their own music. #EDU310final

@jessefarris_ @LivTheTeacherr @MissJuliaRules I agree!! We have to be able to teach and present content in multiple ways. It’s also important to know what foundations students come into our classrooms with, and that they do not know everything that we know about our content areas. #EDU310final

[Allison Dow @allisonndow]

@Mmoran_edu @ProfessorMarin I think that technology can allow for productive conversation and encourage new ideas, but it can also take students away from the classroom and do just the opposite. We have the difficult responsibility of finding a balance between the two in our future classrooms. #EDU310final

[Allison Dow @allisonndow]

@ProfessorMarin I've been thinking a lot about putting students at the forefront of everything we do. Content is vital, but it is even more important to know our students, what they excel at, and where they struggle. We have to be conscious of these differences and adapt as needed. #EDU310Final

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

‘What’ we teach is most definitely important. But, don’t neglect spending just as much time learning about ‘who’ you teach.

I can't help but think the more we know about 'who' we teach, the more effective we will be with 'what' we teach.

When designing lesson plans, teachers should consider the needs of all of their students. We have to present the content in a way that is accessible and meaningful to everyone. #EDU310

[Allison Dow @allisonndow]

Passing the test isn’t everything. Seeing even the smallest steps towards improvement is valuable, no matter how different that growth may look for some kids. #EDU310

A kid has been acting up lately, so I called his mom to see if anything at home was different. She told me that grandma, who lives at home, died last week. It all makes sense.

As educators, we HAVE to #QuitTakingItPersonally and #GiveThemGrace
