@ScottDochterman@Sean23Roberts This is what drew me in. Local people that I could connect with. They brought up topics that were relevant to me. I’m a boy mom. Listening to @Sean23Roberts and @thelucasstrain talk about the people my sons are interested in kept me in the loop. I wish you all the best 😊
@DrBradJohnson The only PD I have ever been to that meets those three criteria was AVID training. Summer Institute was amazing, inspiring, affirming, and helped me become a better teacher three times over.
@IAGovernor Ok… your turn. Come on over and be a sub in my building. I welcome you to come see what it’s like on a daily basis. Maybe you have a magic wand that can fix everything.
The problem with education isn’t what we teach—it’s what we ignore just because it isn’t on a standardized test: creativity, leadership, critical thinking, resilience, problem-solving, communication—everything that actually helps students succeed in life.
Agreed. When students know they matter to their teacher they are open to news ideas and are not afraid to ask questions. When students know they matter they will come to class and do try harder. This should be one of the first things taught around managing a classroom.
NEW: Harvard University on Monday announced that tuition will be free for students from families with annual incomes of $200,000 or less starting in the 2025-26 academic year. https://t.co/fNQDbi2VIz
@DrBradJohnson My students do better when they believe they can. They might not like English, but they will try when they have confidence in themselves.
Quit taking your best teachers out of the classroom and making them “instructional coaches.”
This is like taking Shohei Ohtani and making him the hitting coach.
