ALL kids deserve to feel important, special, successful, and loved. Those are my #teachergoals everyday. Have conversations with them about what they’re passionate about. Give them high fives when they’re successful. Celebrate them. #kidsdeserveit #LoveWorks #BeTheOne https://t.co/Aea8dkxszi

***NOT BREAKING NEWS***
Teachers have to take an interest in ALL kids. Not just the “good” kids. Not just the ones who never get in trouble. Not just the one who make good grades. ALL kids. Kids know when you don’t. They feel it. Never make a kid feel like that. @SteeleThoughts

“Duh” fixes for remote learning:

No testing.
Get rid of A-F grades.
Homework only as enrichment
Cut screen time down to 3hrs max.
One full asynchronous day for everyone.
STOP trying to make remote learning look exactly like in-person learning.

@MrsRThal A4. If you fall down you need to get back up on it! The more you practice the better you’ll get!

[Rachel (Klein) Buck @buckmathematics]

@MrsRThal A3. You can program anything! The product you create can tie in any subject matter. Many times conditional statements and logic behind if/else statements requires mathematical analysis, but you can tie in anything you want with the actual product.

[Rachel (Klein) Buck @buckmathematics]

@MrsRThal A1. Like @burgessdave #tlap says: IMMERSION! We need to be jump in with them. Our active engagement reinforces critical thinking, problem solving, persistence, and helps to motivate Ss to become engaged. We do it together. We succeed together.

[Rachel (Klein) Buck @buckmathematics]

@MrsRThal Joining extremely late, sorry! Coding reinforces understanding of logical thought processes and problem solving. Both necessary in today’s ever changing world.

If I want to reach kids nobody else reaches I have to do things nobody else is willing to do. That’s what it takes.

[Rachel (Klein) Buck @buckmathematics]

@MsJachymiak You’ve got this! Make sure it feels like a good fit for you too- remember you’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you.

Recorded my first podcast today. 30 minutes. Available tomorrow. Talked about disrespectful kids, the time I spent 3 hours in jail 😳, & a whole bunch more! #edchat #KidsDeserveIt #tlap #thatonekid #thebrianmendlershow

[Rachel (Klein) Buck @buckmathematics]

@SteeleThoughts Thank you @SteeleThoughts for taking time out to those of us w/o our own biological kids at this time in our lives. It’s appreciated more than you know!! You’re the best!

[Brian Mendler @BrianMendler]

I am GIVING AWAY 150 copies of my newest book on INSTAGRAM to close out teacher appreciation week. Follow me there to enter. If this post gets 150 retweets (or more) I will do the same on twitter next week. #edchat #KidsDeserveIt #tlap #thatonekid

I just asked a 3rd year teacher what she’s learned as a new teacher. Her advice:

1) Pay attention to the needs of your kids... not just the standards.

2) Talk through behavior issues; don’t JUST assign consequences.

3) Rely on your colleagues.

4) Take things in stride.

[Brian Mendler @BrianMendler]

Five of my fave relationship building tips:

1. Be respectful to disrespectful kids.
2. Be there when things are bad.
3. Ask lots of questions.
4. Remember criticism w/out compliment is abuse.
5. Criticize (& praise) as privately as possible.

Watching the Sophmore PNHS v. Minooka game. Go Tigers! @pnhsbaseball @PNHSAD #202proud

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When my career is over… I don’t think I’ll remember our test scores or our curriculum maps. But I WILL remember some kids, and some teachers… and custodians, and nurses, and secretaries, and paras, and counselors, and SROs, and CNP workers. It is the people that matter to me.

Behold the beauty of geometry!

All polygons of equal area can be dissected into smaller pieces that can be "hinged" to form any other polygon. 📐#brilliantgifs #geometry

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

You have some colleagues who are barely hanging on. They’re just trying to keep their head above water. But you may not know which ones... so I recommend being gracious with all of them.

And your students too.
