For tests, I dedicate the first 5 minutes to have students hold the tests and talk to their group about strategies (w/out pencils). This lowers their test anxiety AND when you walk around, you hear some of the richest math conversations. #iteachmath
I was talking to students that hated math and asked them why they hated it. I realized that they didn't really hate math but rather that they hated being frustrated. They WANTED to understand and like math.
Future elementary teachers from Iowa State are ready to model inquiry in their science lessons and help their students learn about the world around them. Thanks for sharing part of your day with me! @chs_iastate @ISUSOE@IADeptofEd
A1: A lot of us have used a flipped classroom from time to time. This fits the mold of a revolutionary classroom, allowing students to learn by discovery. We need to expand just one lesson to stretch further problem-solving in our classrooms. #AllTigersCode#codeineveryclass
These 6th Grade students @smstigers1 "Measure Up" by exemplifying what it means to be a successful 6th grader does on a day to day basis! #SpencerTigers
Research shows that students read 50-60% more in classrooms with adequate libraries (Catapano, 2009; Morrow, 2003; Kim, 2003; Neuman, 1999). This is in ADDITION to the school library, not as a replacement.
Today this young and RELENTLESS student known as #Wheels NOT only reached his goal but EXCEEDED his goal of 3,000 steps before Christmas!!!! Today he took 3,045 steps before Christmas, Thanksgiving, AND Halloween!!! #TheYoungMan#WithaPlan
#ThoughtForTheDay Worries me that some educators fear change when the 2 things they should fear is that a year from now they will still be in the exact same place as they are today, resulting in them losing hope that nothing will change & burning out. We need you ..via #Culturize
