“When you follow the student’s behavior, you follow your own agenda. When you follow their eyes, they lead you to their pain and healing.”

Remember that "A-Z of Coping Skills" poster that was going around? Well, I made a printed version, both in Rainbow and B&W! You can download the PDFs here: https://t.co/jGltpLiVSO - I made it "Pay What You Can" so you can download for free if that's what's most feasible!

@tlbeenblossom Congrats! You will be amazing!

In my experience, teachers like being noticed. It’s a very human thing to want to matter. Think about the power educators have to “notice” kids… to communicate to them that they matter.

"I would argue in most classrooms, it's the teacher doing the lion's share of the work. And the person doing the work in the classroom is the person doing the learning. So why would we rob our students of the opportunity to learn?" https://t.co/l5o5pDe6xj

A program helps older students become better readers by giving them the tools to teach younger kids. Teens are given the responsibility of helping a younger student and that's a big deal for them. https://t.co/i4K7LgYyRS

An elem. school psychologist shares her take on these resilience strategies: “I remember walking out and thinking I can use this tomorrow. I don't have to wait. I don't have to prepare anything. I don't have to make anything. I can just do it.” @edutopia https://t.co/wkhB6Ym4a4

Taking “attendance” in America’s schools has never been more complicated. What once was a straightforward endeavor has become something of an anything-goes attempt to track whether students are engaged. @kalynbelsha @matt_barnum @Chalkbeat https://t.co/I6zXXC1YiJ

"When we step back and allow students to step forward with their own inquiry, it throws a switch in their brains that changes everything." @ShannaPeeples https://t.co/ven4D78DpY

I’ll never forget the English teacher who told her students: “Everyone is getting an ‘A’ on this essay... because I won’t put a grade on it till it’s excellent.”

I know deadlines can be important, but sometimes ensuring a quality product is more valuable in the learning process.
