@MeganBurnsXEE @DrPorcher @GholdyM LOVE this Megan! What a cool idea, and such a unique way to teach ELA skills. I love the idea of using music to better understand who they are, especially with high school students. I feel like we do this naturally & I love how u bring this into the classroom #TeacherEduMatters
thank you @GholdyM for creating the 5 pursuits of identity-based education, & thank you @DrPorcher for sharing these pursuits with us! I promise to spend the rest of my teaching career using these to cultivate my students’ geniuses #TeacherEduMatters

@tara_jens@JEFTeach Social media platforms like tiktok, snapchat, instagram are some of the main sources of news for many adolescents, and I think that now, more than ever, it is so important to teach our students how to be critical consumers of the news they read on social media. #395FlynnF20
"The lives of youth are saturated by values of consumption, competition, hierarchy, sexism, homophobia, racism, etc." Will we receive pushback trying to teach pop-culture in the classroom? How can we show parents and administrators the benefits pop-culture brings? #395FlynnF20
If we show our students how to analyze pop culture through a variety of social lenses (racial, class, gender, sexuality), they can see how the media represents these communities, and then use these findings to take action beyond the classroom. #395FlynnF20
By critically examining the production, circulation, and purpose of media, we can help our students build the skills they need to become active & critical consumers of the media they use in their everyday lives. #395FlynnF20
#Flynn491F20 Inquiry based instruction creates a warm, accepting, & student-focused classroom as the teacher guides the class with thought-provoking, open-ended questions. The students have the change to explore and discover, instead of being pushed in one particular direction.
"Inquiry teachers see the student as a competent, capable, curious partner in learning. They see the light in each child." My middle school English teacher was an inquiry teacher, who's empathy & unwavering support allowed us to grow and learn as individuals. #Flynn491F20
@AllisonIodice I have definitely seen examples of this in my student teaching classroom this semester, especially in regards to the type of technology some students have access to/ others do not. Thank you for posting!
