In anticipation & celebration of @taylorswift13’s #TorturedPoets release, my ELA colleague created “The Tortured Poets Department: Mrs. Gildersleeve’s Version” bulletin board with some educated guesses on poet & poem connections based on song titles alone!

Every assessment I do is accompanied by a learning memo where the student explains how they demonstrated the learning.
1⃣ It supports me when assessing
2⃣It ensures students reflect on learning
3⃣It serves as a barrier to AI replacing learning

Mr. Matson’s students give a visual representation of Grendel using evidence from the text to support their artistic choices. High level thinking and high level of student engagement!

Mrs. Taylor’s world history class discussing the connections between 1920s and today using cards with sentence stems. Love providing students academic language to frame their thoughts!

Gotta love a good door decorating contest!

Mr. Reedy’s world history students are creating Sketch & Tells to present how the enlightenment influenced the American Revolution.

Get get interacting with your content in creative ways— they’ll retain their learning longer 😊

Jamboard is sunsetting in 2024. 🌅

But that’s OK, because ... Have you met FigJam yet???

It’s a FREE online whiteboard. A collaborative brainstorming powerhouse for your classroom!

What can you do with it? So. MUCH!

Mr. Ficker utilized academic teaming strategies so that students collaboratively evaluate differences between federalism & anti-federalism principles.

100% of learners engaged in their learning process!

Thinking outside the box— graphing in English class!

@MrsCasterNWHS English students are graphing diction and tone in various speeches to analyze how speakers shift their tone and diction depending on their audience and purpose.

NWHS’s ASL teacher, Amber Granville, created such a beautiful, warm, inviting classroom— students instantly feel a sense of belonging as soon as they walk into her room 🤍 @nwlocal

[gerry brooks @gerrybrooksprin]

It makes me sad when a teacher assistant says “I’m just a para” when they introduce themselves to me…we CANNOT do our jobs without support staff. They are the backbones of our schools. No one is “just” anything on your staff. Make sure your support staff feel encouraged & loved.

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Our students need a supportive environment that fosters learning.

As you begin a new school year, you might ask your students this question I learned from @ernestmorrell: "What does it mean to get better at reading?" Maybe chart their responses.

[Lauren McDaniel @lolo_mcdaniel]

@PaulYeckel Aw thanks, Yeckel! You’re the best; have a great school year, buddy!

[Lauren McDaniel @lolo_mcdaniel]

@brossart_amy @ROSSFFA_BT @RossRams1 @nlhpelicans You are seriously the best of the best! 🤍
