@RocksGrade1 @kj_macleod Great ideas to incorporate technology into lesson plans as a means to assess outcomes (formative or summative). #ed625newstuff

@tammy_sangster I love this video too. So powerful and true. Students need to be believed in and teachers have a huge responsibility #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

Love this visual showing ideas for collaborative teaching to engage students while covering the curriculum #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

Reciprocal teaching helps to increase reading comprehension and promotes students to take more responsibility in their learning #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@aehines1 I like that idea!!

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@JasonDBeaubiah One of the reasons they state for not holding weak math students back is because it may create anxiety for them. If they are pushed through the grades, are we creating a higher level of anxiety when we throw more and more math concepts at them when they do not know the basics?

One stormy day last winter, I created this visual while thinking about differentiated instruction and multiple intelligence. Learn your student's strengths (and weaknesses) and instruct in ways that meet their individual needs! #ed625newstuff

Teach students how to effectively take notes during class. Something that I could definitely have used to prepare for university many many years ago!! #ed625newstuff

Collaboration is a skill that benefits all students. The information presented here lets us know the challenges and how the process should be taught #ed625newstuff https://t.co/BOgZ6Vtju0

"Collaboration is an increasingly essential skill, in school settings and in professional life, but it's a skill that's not always intuitive. Like any other, it has to be taught." Learn more about @DataWiseHarvard's efforts @UKnowHGSE. https://t.co/2HdLfYcepL

Find ways to incorporate these into your lessons. Any examples that have worked for you? #ed625newstuff

@Praught19 What an interesting read. It is so true that some students are lacking the foundational math skills and the concepts keep building on top of eachother and students continue to get further and further behind. #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

A good way to think when educating students, use different approaches to activate different parts of the brain and engage students in a variety of ways. #ed625newstuff #multipleintelligence

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@tammy_sangster It's nice to see that teachers recognize the importance of being flexible within the classroom setting!!

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@MrsSherbanuk Such an important topic @MrsSherbanuk #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@ThomasWaugh24 We do have some standing chairs available for students but I am definitely going to look into some other options. The ones you mentioned wouldn't be overly expensive! #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@ThomasWaugh24 What a great way to empower students. They were able to collaborate with eachother and it seems as though the teacher took on more of a role as a facilitator (sometimes easier said than done). #ed625newstuff #studentcentered

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@gallant_desiree I agree. We participate in professional development to be better teachers for the student so why not have them be more active in guiding us in the areas that we should be developing? #ed625newstuff

[Brian Carruthers @bccarruthers]

@jadair1975 That is why it is so important to have students practice skills such as oral presentations and collaborating effectively with their peers! #ed625newstuff

Thank You #PEI for a very successful Christmas season of Egg-Nog sales! Islanders sure do love this holiday tradition. Egg-Nog is still available at retail stores! Get it before it is gone. (Did you know you can freeze ADL Egg-Nog to use throughout the year?)

Empathy can be learned, demonstrated, evaluated and allows students to actively listen to others while working collaboratively (an important skill for the student's future). #ed625newstuff https://t.co/crlpi27VVL
