New twist on equity sticks. @equityteacher has added her name to the sticks. When she selects her own stick, she models thinking aloud!

@darcy_ghost @CaitlynnPeetz14 Wow. Because it breaks my heart that so many people are so completely devoid of empathy.

@darcy_ghost @CaitlynnPeetz14 The reply is why I hadn’t posted to Twitter for a year

@IsabelBSawyer We do this as well - it is our “colleague care” time. So important to check in on each other - now more than ever.

Love this! Making student thinking visible and empowering students to make choices in their learning are research-based practices to increase motivation and achievement.

Hoping this is something that has really resonated with everyone in the last 18 months. Great thing - kind words are free.

So important! 🙌

Lots of opportunities to solicit student voice with this seemingly simple attendance tool. Bravo, MrOlson!

[Michael OLSON @theMrOlson]

I ask students a daily “attendance question” via Google Classroom.

Once every two weeks the question is, “What would you like Mr. O to know?”

I cannot recommend strongly enough that teachers give their students this opportunity.

@flowidealism @Sisyphus38 Well said. Are we organizing for teacher comfort and convenience or for student learning? Old ways won’t open new doors.

[Kelli M. Phillips, Ed.D. @KelliMWPhillips]

@MrNunesteach Be as patient, kind, and compassionate as you want our teachers to be for our students. Modeling matters. But so does making sure our teachers are okay right now.

[Brian Hartline @brianhartline]

Root for people. Help them reach their goals. Be kind. Be happy for others.

Life is already hard enough. Help others. Lift them up.

It won’t just change their life, it’ll change yours too.

[debbie bidwell @debbiebidwell2]

Checking in with others just because is important! You never know when someone might need it!

Critical thought from Embracing Equity. We can preach growth mindset all we want, but we have to recognize and work to dismantle systemic oppression or we cannot expect real growth.

[Kelli M. Phillips, Ed.D. @KelliMWPhillips]

Thanks to all of our teachers who have worked so hard to innovate and help students find new successes https://t.co/UYft6pbsgY

[Sarah Sirgo, Ph.D. @Lead2Support]

As conversations about class placement for next year unfold, be sure to set clear norms with staff about expectations for how language will be used to describe students. Focus on assets & gifts versus challenges & concerns. The best of us brings out the best in them 🤍

[Kelli M. Phillips, Ed.D. @KelliMWPhillips]

@Melaika_Brown So true! I’m in my 29th year of teaching. I have never seen teachers work so hard and innovate so much. Yes, it’s not ideal - but Students ARE LEARNING!!!

[Kelli M. Phillips, Ed.D. @KelliMWPhillips]

Choose to act so everyone can belong.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If we want to see a more peaceful world, we have to learn to collaborate. Young people shouldn’t follow previous patterns of behaviour. New conditions, like our interdependent, globalised world, require new ideas. Dividing people into ‘us’ and ‘them’ is out of date.
