[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

On Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the trailblazers who fought to deliver a better future for America’s daughters.

And we recognize the work that remains to ensure that everyone can participate in our democracy and make fundamental choices about their health and bodies.

Hasan Kwame Jeffries: Why we must confront the painful parts of US history.
Teachers must teach hard history to their students. “To do anything else is to commit educational malpractice” https://t.co/xxo7lvZnDG

“I saw my role as an educator and not simply as a teacher of subjects. An educator is a holistic pedagogue, one who can awaken talents, foster dreams…” #educationacrossborders

Currently reading Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom. Can’t put it down. Brilliant. @DrYemiS

“A fish out of water.”

I had students share a reflection after the latest Unit Test. This one will sit with me for too long.

Distance learning takes a lot out of the social interactions and stimulations that a classroom provides. It is important to maintain as much of a human aspect as possible while providing distance learning. #EdTechCWU @EricHougan

Whether you are teaching about world cultures, visiting a museum or even discussing Halloween costumes, talking about the differences between appreciation and appropriation can help students understand historical context and mitigate harm.

I like think-pair-share as an engagement strategy because the teacher can pose a question, students have a chance to think about the question and share with each other. Focus is back on the lesson & students are engaged with the material. @EricHougan #engagement

Speak the kind of day that you want your scholars to have. “You’re going to have an AMAZING day!” And remind them each time you see them. Especially the high schoolers. They might call you corny but they love it the most.

[Dr. Steve Perry @DrStevePerry]

Aggressively positive.

Let’s face it, although many might think that teachers know everything we just simply do not. Google Lens is a useful tool to use in the classroom when a student has a question regarding something, you do not know the answer, and need more information. #CWUedtech

Because technology changes so quickly, I update the guide every year, and when I do, I also put together a list of tools I think are worth checking out.
