#PAISed Reminded at international schools conference that you can use centers in the middle school classroom. Digital portfolios for teachers and students shouldn't be an option, but we should be evaluating how we use them. Time for me to upgrade my students' and start my own!

When in Quito for the AASSA conference, I attended a professional development on Middle School classroom management. It was a reminder to focus on maintaining student relationships, that they are the children and we are the adults. #MDApd

Learning strategies for our English Language Learners based off the WIDA model. Focus on each language domain separately, so students can be grouped based on their needs in each category dependent on which skills are being utilized for a specific activity! #AASSA18

#AASSA18 Educator's Conference in Quito was all about growth mindset. We presented on changing students' and teachers' motivations toward data collection and then learned so much more!

This year we plan to start using Responsive Classroom. This practice calls educators to correct our language when we forget to be positive, in order to create uplifting relationships with students. #BeMDA @responsiveclass #MDApd @Operez_mda @ZHerrera07
