Este mes escuchamos a @chetesgarza y sin que yo dijera nada, varios empezaron a cantar 🥰

Y el miércoles les contaré de mi malentendido de blanco fácil y como me respondió el mismo Chetes 😱

@MarcusLuther6 Good time for a reminder about this, I need to consider implementing something similar in my room

What's the smallest class you've had doing these nominations? I've got some small ones, it seems like it could change the dynamics. They only nominate Ss from the same period?

@ProfeJRob @MartinaBex @langchatPLN @techMEWithyou Sounds like constant iterative work but super interesting process, thanks for going into such detail!

[Lake Mathison, PhD @lake_mathison]

@ProfeJRob @MartinaBex @langchatPLN Can you say more about what the Ss are writing about? Are they self-assessing their language performance, their engagement in class/ w the TL, something else?

If you include non-achievement factors in your gradebook, such as behavior, effort, or participation, you are inflating or deflating student grades.

@dowellml @plthomasEdD Right? They recommend randomizing the order but that means those at the end will still suffer a point penalty, so why not get rid of the points altogether??

@RAEinforma @Derribador Así que, si uno quiere aclarar el siglo (los 80 de 1800 y no 1900), no se puede decir algo como los años 1880, ¿solo la década de 1880?

@howie_hua mil (does Spanish count?)

@its_me_srd You got around a bit! As I was heading home, I saw for the first time that Minneapolis has a Botero statue! How did I not know that? 🤯

@TG2Chat @heymrsellis I agree w the article abt giving Ss the chance to address feedback in class. Should that then prompt another round of feedback and assessment of level? I want feedback to result in meaningful improvement but I also don't want to get buried in feedback tasks

@MrFisherSays I need to see so much more modeling (not just description) of what this kind of slow looks like. I appreciate it in theory but in the classroom the Ss' desire for me to move on is palpable. So I must not be asking Qs or prompting responses in quite the right way

Omg too pure

Classroom jobs WIN.

I have a student who refused to choose a job. She was sullen and disengaged. So I made up a job on the spot: write a secret note, once a week, to a classmate of your choice. I supply the template and cute stationary.

You guys, look at her sweet note!😊

@languageley How long of a snippet? How'd you pick which bit?

[Lake Mathison, PhD @lake_mathison]

@garicgymro So chill and quiet, what a dream

[Lake Mathison, PhD @lake_mathison]

Sounds like teaching

[johnny, skroderider era @generativist]

all you need is someone constantly demanding more from you than you think you are capable of, while carefully increasing that bar up as you get closer to it

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

One reason that many kids seem to have trouble thinking for themselves is that they've learned the adults in their lives are none too pleased about their doing so.
