It's unhelpful to tell a student you should have learned this last year. Or, you should already know this. Let's meet kids where they are, not where they should be.
Those who teach must find something they love outside of their work in order to do their work. Teaching is not supposed to consume you it is supposed to enhance a you that’s already there. #LCActivate#LincolnCenterEducation
@MsMorrisTeach @JJ_Stellies I gave my Grade 12 Physical Sciences girls a graph of a chemical equilibrium reaction - taken from a previous exam paper - and asked them to ask questions on the given information as well as the answer for the memo in an online assessment. Requires thinking!
