Let’s be clear.
Engagement is not a synonym for “fun”.

Engagement is curiosity, participation, and a desire to persevere.

GREAT alternative to the approach of "You used ChatGPT to cheat so let me punish you." 👇👇👇

Trying to understand #ChatGPT and what is means for the future of how we teach writing.

Biggest piece that stood out to me while reading this: "If we assume students want to learn - and I do - we should show our interest in their learning, rather than their performance."

The best leaders are also the best followers. They follow a purpose, cause, or belief bigger than themselves.

Utilizes Available Technology

The amount of technology available to teachers can often feel overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you utilize the available technology in your classroom this year to not overwhelm you or your students.

[The Edge @TheEdgeTechHub]

Providing Varied, Flexible Learning Spaces:

The physical design of the classroom is a key element to student success. Our modern learning environments should empower students to decide how they can learn best.

[The Edge @TheEdgeTechHub]

Supporting a Learner Centered Culture:

Start by thinking of your students needs and how you might include their voice in the classroom.

Check out this Learning Wall of ways to support a learner centered culture in your classroom!

Hey teachers, back to school is right around the corner. As you are coming in to set up your classroom, consider how you are setting up your modern learning environment!

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

The most effective teaching strategy or classroom management tool is building relationships with your kids. That’s it.

[Nicole Curcio @classactteach]

Enjoyed being a part of the conversation today on the impact of ownership and agency with the rest of @ModernTeacherCo’s panel!

[Nicole Curcio @classactteach]

If we cultivate agency in each learner, then we help students get closer to achieving their why. We should be helping students connect their learning to their real-world goals!

[Nicole Curcio @classactteach]

Looking forward to be a part of this panel! Even if you can't listen at 1pm, they will send a recording to you for later!
