I've always been one to love to teach history to students. Being able to tell a story about an historical event, and going in depth about specific facts has been something that is close to my heart. #education #history #teacher

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

What topics are especially close to your heart?

Growing as a leader does take you places to motivate and make a change to help students grow. Your statement does show that being a leader is not a title, but is part of our character as educators. #EDET543 #leader #specialeducation

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence, and inspiration.

I do believe that with technology, it will help "grow" the educational world to become bigger and better for everyone involved as well. #EDET543 #technology #edtech #education

#RT @eschoolnews: RT @teachpitch: #Technology can provide a significant boost to the educational world if it is embraced and utilized in the right way. Unlock the true potential of education with technology! 🚀🤘#edtech #education #innovation

Great activity to use with students. One way, they're learning about how to do a tweet. Second, it also involves using questions as a exit ticket. #EDET543 #exitticket #education

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

Exit tickets don't have to be long-winded.

For educator @AnneKnight4Edu's Ss, a daily "tweet" will do! 🐦

Our character word of the month of February for school: honesty. Being honest means being truthful and trusting, but it will help build confidence when being able to trust others. It can also mean not letting mistakes turn to failures. #EDET543 #honesty

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Having a healthy mind, body, and soul will help grow our learners one step at a time. #EDET543 #learners #PresidentsDay #physicaleducation

[The PE Project @the_PE_project]

Happy President's day! We love these words from former President John F.Kennedy... #presidentsday #physicaleducation #pegeeks #educhat #teacher #education

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Great way to work on critical thinking skills for students after doing some in-depth reading, looking for the important points to bring across during discussion. #EDET543 #criticalthinking #classroomdiscussion

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

How do you support metacognition in class?

Educator Ms. Spoon from @OrangeGroveAISD created this simple anchor chart to boost learners' critical thinking skills at racing speed:

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

This is especially true for kids to create ways for them to express and act on their own as they get older. Creating and hitting these goals will help them further to lead a more successful life. #EDET543 #autonomy #teaching #lifeskills

[Cory Henwood @CoryHenwood]

In many schools, kids have little autonomy. They don’t choose what they learn, how they learn, how they show they've learned, or the pace they learn.

Learning to set & meet goals, while acting with autonomy are keys for successful adult life.

Are we teaching this skill? #k12

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

I see this as one part of my journey as an educator. We should take our time and be patient, and not hurry ourselves. #EDET543 #patience

[It's Solved @it_s_solved]

Stop the rush and enjoy the journey! 🌟 Today's quote of the day reminds us that life is not a race, so take your time and do things at your own pace. 🌞 #QuoteOfTheDay #LifeLessons"

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Great activity to hear about to practice sounds, create art using technology, and even create to challenge other students. #EDET543 #technology #art

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Great techniques to work with English Language Learners (ELL). My favorite is chunking to break down the reading to really help learners understand the context of the story. #EDET543 #reading #ELL

Great quote that we must shape our kids to learn to have a good mind and soul to be prepared for the world. #EDET543 #education #motivation

First day of school today....but a wonderful reminder for everyday #firstdayofschool #teachermotivation #CHSLancers #TeamFCUSD

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Being inspired each and every day for your students is worthwhile to help you grow. #EDET543 #specialeducation #inspire #growth

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Practice always makes a difference every day to be a student of your art. #EDET543 #music #practicingmusic

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Always important to allow brain breaks during the day, not just for students, but for yourself as well. #EDET543 #brainbreak #quiettime

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Another activity that I did with the kiddos during February before Valentines. #EDET543 #specialeducation #artsandcrafts #valentinesdayart

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Great activity for students to have self-affirmation for themselves. Be able to state who they are through art. #EDET543 #counseling #specialeducation #art

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

Awesome! Love that your students have set up their goals for themselves. Always know what they like or dislike in order to help them learn and grow in their education. #EDET543

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

What my students did today for Groundhog Day. Simple and fun activity. https://t.co/raq0HSq11p #EDET543 #groundhogday #artsandcrafts #specialeducation

[Chris Lawson @LawsTeachSPED]

As educators, always find time to reflect on your daily work. This could be in many ways-writing, listening to music, etc. This is one valuable piece to have as part of your daily routine. #EDET543
