@isteamprof I do not believe that the cost of being an I-STEAM classroom is a barrier. It requires you to get out of your comfort zone and reach out for the materials you need in order to have an I-STEAM classroom. Most of the time, you can get the supplies you need for free!

@isteamprof this reminded me not only of our dreamcatcher project last semester, but what we created in our unit and semester plans for our own students. My students’ visual art projects really let me see just how far they could go once they were invested in their learning!!

"If the student team collaborates on a product they had voice in, meets a true need, and relates to the 21st century... they won't throw it away afterwards, it can't be thrown away. That's a good project. "

@KimPhoenix4 I think Instagram is an excellent way to see what other teachers in your content area do in their classroom. It may not be accessible on your school desktop due to filters, but many of the resources I see shared are through a shared google folder!

@getwritable A4: Consistent feedback on the writing process is vital in helping students grow as writers. I love having peer feedback stations while I meet each student to go over their rough draft. I also give feedback on their final draft and a scores rubric. #WritingMatters

@shfarnsworth Thank you!!! This is great!

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@getwritable A3: Seeing the vocabulary being used in the context of a paragraph can ensure understanding in a way that definitions may not be able to provide. #WritingMatters

Old post but a good one - Love using Mentor Media to move student writers in contemporary, multimodal "texts". https://t.co/6fUFKhFQqM #WritingMatters

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@getwritable A2: Mentor texts can guide writing instruction by showing students what works well in writing. If you show students different levels of writing, (including ELL) they can see what strategies work! #WritingMatters

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@BretGosselin A mentor texts helps students understand new writing types or techniques. For example, I use mentor texts to help model for my students what an effective argumentative essay looks like! #WritingMatters

@getwritable I’m a second year 9th grade English teacher! Writing mattered to me this week as my students are writing their reflection on their visual art project! #WritingMatters

@twhite1489 A5: I try to keep parents informed about what homework students will have and when it is due. My expectations are usually outlined in Remind or ClassTag notifications for the parents. If students are working on a project, rubrics are always on Google Classroom. #ccboeintech

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@twhite1489 A4: I ensure that homework is equitable and fair by differentiating the homework to meet the needs of all students. For readings, students can either take the novel home or use the online PDF with an accompanied audiobook. #ccboeintech

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@twhite1489 A3: I do not think that it is important for students to always receive a grade for homework. Especially if the homework is reading or completing class work. For my students, homework is meant for practice or additional time to complete work. #ccboeintech

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@MsAlison314 @twhite1489 I love giving my student an opportunity to sketch out their ideas. For some of them, I can tell that it really helps them commit things to memory. #ccboeintech

[The Simple Teacher @ASimpleTeacher]

@twhite1489 A2: I think productive homework occurs when students are working towards creating an evidence of learning for example having students create sketch notes during their readings. #ccboeintech
