I don't know who came up with this idea of teaching two cohorts of kids (some in person, socially distanced, some online) simultaneously but it's wrong. It's two jobs. It's not good for kids, and it's not good for teachers.

@ElenaFeick @Goodtweet_man Nope. Most of those would not be things I want.

@Goodtweet_man I'd actually have no problem with fitness equipment as a gift.

Our Kenmore Middle School 6th grade students are presenting their science projects today. They love science and they love being our future scientists. @APSKenmore @APSVirginia @KMSCounselors @APS_StudentSrvc

A single sentence, spoken at the right time, by the right person, has the power to change the course of a child's future. Be intentional with your words today.

The most radical message we can send the food industry – which considers money, not our health in regard to its bottom line – is to prepare our own meals, make the best food selections within our budgets, and reclaim our health.

[Dan Meyer @ddmeyer]

You KNOW the feeling.

Someone RTs or likes something you said on this website and you feel like a million bucks.

How many students – and WHICH students? – felt seen like that by their teachers today?

@RanStars3rd @LibraryRandolph @RandolphStars I do miss @LibraryRandolph an awful lot!

[Randolph ES @RandolphStars]

The best classroom management strategies are relationships and engaging lessons, not rules. #teachergoals

[DR. TOM LOUD @loudlearning]

One Teacher's negative attitude can impact an entire school. Everyone needs to be on board, move the same direction, and be more about WE than ME! #teamwork #getoveryourself

Patriotism isn't about making everyone stand and salute the flag.

Patriotism is about making this a country where everyone wants to.

[Brent Coley @brentcoley]

If we're serious about building grit in students, we have to give them opportunities to fail and stop penalizing them for not learning it the first time. We have to make it about learning, not the grade. #Eduinfluence #tlap #LeadLAP #caedchat #GrowthMindset

[Eric Sheninger @E_Sheninger]

To build powerful relationships with all learners:

1. Love your kids more than the subject you teach and/or the grade level you work with.

2. Use feedback and positive reinforcement as the main learning motivator, not grades or marks.

3. Be empathetic.

[Weston Kieschnick @Wes_Kieschnick]

3 Things We All Must Agree On If Education Is To Improve:
🔸Teachers are the solution; not the problem.
🔸Ask questions before pointing fingers. Dialogue is necessary.
🔸Tech & Pedagogy must cooperate in a more invisible, organic, and purposeful way.
