I was in an online training today and hardly anyone had their cameras on. I always think, if I’m asking my students to do it, I need to as well

@MargaretRenkl @nytopinion Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been slowly creating a garden around our house and I’ve watched the Orioles and monarchs in our yard. It doesn’t take much to care.

This is a beautiful article as an antidote to the tsunami of bad things happening around us.

@missb_y1teacher
I am a 1st year teacher and struggle with ADD and anxiety as well. I’m learning to accept these challenges and look at them as a way to relate to my students who deal with hardships and learning differences. Congrats on certification!

If kids enjoy what they're doing, they'll never think of it as a test.

This is an interesting concept, with the teacher creating his own videos and the students pacing themselves through a particular unit. I'm curious to know if this is effective in lower grades as well.

Teachers are the most important factor in student learning. Here’s how to use technology to *amplify* the impact of the teacher. https://t.co/VLyBcWoQIG

I’m weighing recycling dry erase vs small chalkboards with dustless chalk (yes, chalk) for students.

Sounds like this varies more district to district, depending on summer resources.

By the end of middle school, students may lose a third to half of what they learn during the year to the so-called "summer slide." But the real gaps may not come from where you think. https://t.co/9PXWwNHoXF

I see this every day. Get creative with your students. See if you can get them tied in with mentors and extracurricular before there’s a crisis.

Often, PD ends up being not relevant to what the individual teacher needs. I hope to be able to figure out which ones will benefit me the most as MCPS has many PD opportunities.

[Education Week @educationweek]

Teacher professional development can often fail to take teachers’ prior knowledge and experience into account. For this special report, we asked teachers what they saw as PD blind spots and then looked for causes and solutions. https://t.co/qGIT8Kh4n2 #TeacherPD

I think this sums up what I feel/what I realize about teaching.

Recently someone asked me about my goals in life and said, “You’re just a classroom #teacher. What else do you want to do with your life?” I smiled politely and shared the starfish story.⭐️#StarfishClub #IAM

[danteTodd @danteTodd]

This is especially helpful for kids with learning challenges.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

[danteTodd @danteTodd]

@justintarte It's amazing how few teachers actually remember to do this, especially when students are entering school. It is easy to get into the "zone" and forget this simple courtesy.

[danteTodd @danteTodd]

I've been struggling with integrating more mindfulness and awareness into the way I approach students with disciplinary problems vs. old school style of rewards and punishments which don't often work.
