@jblindsey731 Absolutely! In our class reading, "The Myth about No Significant Difference" talked about this. Using a video to teach a concept doesn't always get students motivated. We have to look at the design of our entire lesson and reconstruct the path to achieve the goals.

The Myth about No Significant Difference https://t.co/b5TF4Cy3Vr Food for thought. As Ts, "are we doing the same things with technology?" or are we using technology to enhance the goal of a lesson? Are we using technology instead of FtF teaching? #KSUITEC7410

[Karen McCannon @klcm831]

@jbeckh21 @wood2_ae @Beckhamtech In recent years, Ts have shifted away from using manipulatives in math. This would be a good time to start using technology in place of manipulatives.

Response to OT by Dr. Brad Johnson. So very true when Admin always go to the same 2 or 3. Are there positions between Principal or AP and teacher?

[Kathleen Stoker @stokerkathleen]

@evenerjeff @DrBradJohnson Often Ts skill set and expertise are underutilized and untapped. Having meaningful conversations w/Ts and expressing trust, mutual respect, and connection are keys to supporting Teacher leaders.

We (especially admin) need to quit being afraid of pissed off parents. This is public service, not customer service. You want a school where you control all the rules? Homeschool or pay someone to homeschool. Your kids are not so special that they get preferential treatment.

If a job requires 10+ hours of unpaid overtime per week just to stay above water, the job is asking too much of you.

Something needs to change.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

When I am asked my number one piece of advice for a new administrator, it is simply to take care of your staff. If you take care of them, they will take care of the students. A culture of care, support, appreciation and encouragement is a culture when everyone can thrive.

Love those penguins!

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

Antarctica has had some of the lowest ground level temperatures on Earth

Emperor penguins evolved a social behaviour to endure unimaginable sub zero windchills

They form huddles with warm centres, rotating so the ones on the perimeter get respite 1/
