@allisonndow @Elisabethfriedd I took note of this comment as well!

Not to mention, makes poetry less intimidating to so many! #Edu310Final

One lesson I learned from my experience in the classroom is the importance of adaptability. Whether a sensitive event occurred, or if students need more focus and attention in an area, "wiggle room" needs to be available when planning lessons #EDU310Final

Just as Rush and Scherff state, “It is easy for classroom teachers to feel pressured to conform out of fear: value-added models influence pay, school grades are publicly shared, and students’ diplomas can be withheld. However, a love of words and the desire to seek knowledge...

@jessefarris_ & @alyssa50113574 made great points in our discussion about connecting content to passion that "lights the fire" of our students. I've observed teachers who do and do not express their own passions and 10/10 times students are encouraged to imitate them #EDU310Final

@TrayersKelly @MissJuliaRules @BrookeOhanlon @allisonndow @ProfessorMarin I agree! If we are preparing students for a grade rather than real world situations we are not doing our job! Forming and arguing opinions should be taught along with content #EDU310Final

My takeaway from #shulman is that we need to abolish this expression "those who can't, teach" because good teachers possess a passion for the profession and need to understand content more, to be able to apply it to any of student #TeacherAppreciation #EDU310

Classroom management is about creating a community that encourages students to feel safe taking risks, establish inclusivity, and build trust. If we can do this, our students will rise to the occasion every single time! #EDU310, or #EDU333? @ProfessorMarin
