I went into @Lowe's specifically because of their silly sweepstakes that crashed nationwide, but I checked online and waited in a queue for 1 hour and 30 minutes only to not be able to register... I guess I'll just ask nicely... May I please have a gift card (preferably 10k)?

Sharing the "why" behind certain SEL activities can make them more effective among your Ss, says educator @AshleyPTaplin.

Here's her sample script:

Kids need lots of practice listening to each other!

Using Think, Pair, Share, and equity sticks is a game changer- cold call away! (with scaffolding) #EDE325

Calling on a student whose hand isn’t raised: 👍🏽 or 👎🏽? Research suggests that cold calling can be a powerful tool to foster participation—when used strategically.

@danacoledares Thank you for reaching out. I might be interested. It depends on timing/topic. I'm an elementary teacher at a Teacher-powered school, so talking about secondary absenteeism might not be up my alley, but talking about school culture is.

[Dave Briley @BRILEYD]

@Jacquel85457020 @HarveyAlvy1 Agreed- Districts and schools need to look for ways to create ownership and build a culture that students and teachers can buy into and see themselves being productive and valued within it. #edchat

[Dave Briley @BRILEYD]

Absenteeism is, in part, a symptom of "gamefying" everything. If you play a video game, you get an instant reward- that cannot always happen in a school environment. Also, if you don't like a TikTok, you can swipe to the next one...you can't swipe a teacher away. #edchat

[Dave Briley @BRILEYD]

Solved it! Very fun! Thanks @NPH @theory11 #boxone

@LevelUpAcadMN @ambernespinosa1 @mdandelet Thanks for the inspiring school tour yesterday, and the great collaboration to feature how we build school leaders from within. You Rock! #teacherpowered #GetOnTheBus

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The origin of Memorial Day trace back to 1865 when freed slaves started a tradition to honor fallen Union soldiers and to celebrate emancipation and commemorate those who died for that cause.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Quite brilliant
