I want to try one!! Since I'm summarizing Twelfth Night right now, I'd suggest: "Wear your Disguise Wisely: How Crossdressing can Lead to Accidental Attraction" Subtitle: "and when your twin should intervene to avoid hurt feelings." 🤣

@AndYourBirdCan2 I learned about having a "growth mindset" and started applying it in my own life--hopefully this means I can teach it, too!

Hey all! I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to this amazing site! It helps you adjust lexile levels of your instructions, texts and even canonical texts in a moment's notice. #tncohort7183 #tncohort https://t.co/0TRVErwNwz

Perhaps turning it into an opportunity for students to practice reading through a critical lens is the best option.

Yes, to many of these red flags on this list, yet they continue to be included in high school curricula. I esp find it troubling outside of the US where the cultural values don't translate well. What can be done when you teach to a set curriculum? #readingchoice

I ❤️ J.S. Bach and his mind-bending scalar/harmonic matrices (giving my best shot at a description).

I just had a #lightbulbmoment about giving #studentfeedback and #peerreviews. I want to start leaving the door open for response back such as a question at the end or an opportunity to rate the feedback. This makes it more of a #learningdialogue and helps create a #feedbackloop.

You might see plot patterns with bid data literary analysis, but what you won't get by looking at a chart: the satisfaction of getting to know characters, the charm of wit, escape into worlds--in other words, the pleasure of reading.

@barryftn1 A6 #tncohort #tncohort7183 Receiving compliments on our supportive cohort from different teachers both made me feel lucky and grateful to have gone through this challenging process with you all. 🙌❤️

@barryftn1 A5 #tncohort #tncohort7183 I want my students to leave with strong ambitions, developed insights, and communication savvy for real world contexts.

@barryftn1 A4 #tncohort #tncohort7183 Ethical behavior in its simplest form means classroom dialogue is a two-way street. I like to seek feedback, ask questions and understand where my students are coming from. I hope valuable dialogue continues among students, even when I'm not around.

@barryftn1 A3 #tncohort #tncohort7183 Technology is a domain that really belongs to young people, our students. The tables turn and we become their students when they teach us about apps, games, sites, shortcuts, coding, etc--i.e., a past student showed me https://t.co/M16jHERykU

@barryftn1 A2 #tncohort #tncohort7183 My students rarely get on the mic during our virtual live lessons, but last week one of my students mustered the courage to read an ode aloud to the other students off of the slide. My heart fluttered! #thelittlethings
