What is happening right now in the US is not an isolated incident. It is the cumulation of a thousand+ wrongs.

This Venn diagram shared by @ddmeyer is a brilliant reminder that students’ answers do not need to be correct to be useful for learning. In fact, many of the best conversations come from analyzing mistakes.

[Dan Meyer @ddmeyer]

Help me understand this ONE Venn diagram in my first year teaching and I would have been 10x more effective. This one right here.

“English learners often know the answers to our questions, but they do not know how to communicate them.” @TanELLclassroom shares tips for improving assessments for language learners so that your tests assess what students know about the content, not just language.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

English learners often know the answers to our questions, but they do not know how to communicate them. Having sentence starters and frames on EL-formatted assessments can make their ideas more comprehensible. @middleweb tips by @TanELLclassroom #ELLChat https://t.co/7yp2XGHaJ5

Counting and @sesamestreet! This clip made me smile.

One of my favorite @sesamestreet moments of all time...

Give power back to kids to solve problems by asking “What can you do to make things right?”

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

One of the most important shifts when transitioning from a punitive to restorative discipline process is in our language when speaking w/ students.
Changing the question from "Do you know why that was wrong?" to "What can you do to make things right?"

Love this visual representation of numbers by @Suchmo83 — great for helping students build an understanding of numbers!

[Christopher Such @Suchmo83]

Below is a Smart notebook file with the numbers 1-100 shown in dienes and on a 0-100 number-line. It might be useful for making the links between the ordinal and cardinal aspects of number.

Mind bending professional development on orthography at #uniquelyunis by @wordtorque ... excited to start exploring these new ideas with students!

[Jill Landretti @haijill]

Yes! Drawing is a great tool for helping students retain new learning. It’s also super accessible for language learners! Double win!

[FourPoint Education Partners @FourPoint_Ed]

Research shows that drawing concepts is a great way to learn - that's why learning visual approaches to numbers in math class -- not just equations -- can help students build stronger math skills! Thanks for this video, @edutopia!

[Jill Landretti @haijill]

Gestures are a cross language tool + early math matters! Thanks for highlighting these important understandings, @edutopia

[edutopia @edutopia]

Children’s early math experiences can significantly shape how they feel about the subject for years to come.

Reminder for how to DELIVER for language learners

[Ana Arana @MsAnaArana]

Great tool to help teachers understand their practices in the co-taught class and their impact on student learning. @AndreaHonigsfel

[Jill Landretti @haijill]

As a parent and an educator, I appreciate the reminder that my job is to make space for kids to think and make their own choices... and that even poor choices can lead to good learning.

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

"#SelfReg isn't about teaching teens how to choose sensibly. It's about helping teens to experience calm, where they will have the time / space to think & choose: wisely and poorly, boldly and brazenly, and learning all the while." #WhatWeBelieve
