A great #principal can make a huge difference to #teachers, students and #SchoolCulture. What qualities do you think make a great principal? #edchat

Response for “I don’t care:”

“I hear ya. I didn’t care about a lot of things I was forced to learn in school either. Today, just for fun let’s pretend you cared. If you did, what would you say then?”
Repeat multiple times if need be.

So cool, and such a great way to teach students where your food can come from! https://t.co/sh3AomEFtY

@alisonberg25 I am so incredibly lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you all! This class is so wonderful, and each student will be on to great things in 5th grade! 😊😊

Research shows that when teachers forge strong relationships with students they learn better. See how these kids start their day. @edutopia @Turnaround #edchat https://t.co/z1fLlPtrjl

A5: I see a lot of kids reading Harry Potter, the Amulet Series, and younger students I’ve seen books like Dog Man, Bad Guys, Magic Tree House. #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

A1: I would level my books in my personal library based on lexile level of reading. I might also sort them by author or topic. I think these would be easy ways for students to find books they are interested in. #comprehendthis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Maestrameetworl I like your idea of memory games! Anything that can aide in learning but the kids just think they are playing a game is worth it! #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@StevieMac238 @MarianneGrossm4 @ElbaRoques A2: Students need to be sure they are reading in an environment that they can focus in. They also need to be able to discuss the beginning, middle, and end of their reading. #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Maestrameetworl A5: Socio-economic status may affect ELL students comprehension in various ways. While touchy, a teacher may need2 consider the levels of education the family members have received. This may affect the work they can do at home & support they have out of school. #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Maestrameetworl A4: Teachers can highlight student differences through things like Star student, highlighting a different culture each month, show and tell, or any other creative ideas a teacher has to keep the classroom highly inclusive! #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Lupes_Lesson @Maestrameetworl Hi Lupe! Yes, I think even families with similar cultural backgrounds can have differing viewpoints when it comes to raising children & representing their opinions, morals, ideas within the same culture. What are your thoughts? #ComprehendThis
