@brian_whalen @MJMacfadden Which one is your favorite?

.@kevin2kelly I'm writing to ask permission to record an audio version of "1,000 True Fans" to share with my students during #eLearning. Would like to release as podcast so students can listen on @spotify #busedu #teacher #covid19 retweet to increase likelihood of this being seen

My 6th grade students loved to synthesize what they learned about common themes from The Outsiders as they created Instagram posts @HawkWolf39 #d39online #staygold #4csoftechnology

@WEA39Unite To practice self-care, I make time to attend barre classes at least twice a week and go on family walks with my husband, @MJMacfadden, son, and dog daily!

@WEA39Unite Beginning my 13th year of teaching... Year 5 at Highcrest!

@BusEdCrev Love starting the year with an email etiquette lesson where the 6th graders analyze the structure and content of sample emails. It naturally leads to the value in problem-solving before sending an email and checking for a response if they send an email with an actual question!

Way to go, @CamRuiz98!! 💪🏼

@andermm1 I am taking a SeeSaw PD this summer after hearing about it from a friend who teaches 1st grade. Does it work well with middle school too?

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

A2: The advantage to teaching ELA... we can incorporate SEL standards into the curriculum. It is amazing to see what 6th graders can analyze from the text! #AIMSNetwork

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

A1: UDL and SBG are definitely newer acronyms around our neck of the woods. #aimsnetwork

Change happens...

@hansappel094 Honestly, I’ve got some research to do. I started to follow @geniushour and plan to touch base with my colleague, a 6th Grade science teacher, who worked with our DST to organize it all last year. Stay tuned! 😊

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

A3: I will allot time during the school day for Genius Hour to allow students to be inspired by their own passions. #bekindedu

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

@Teachintjay I definitely have some brainstorming to do as far as set-up is concerned, but that sounds great. Enjoy your night!

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

Thanks for making my first official Twitter chat a great one, @NowakRo #bekindEDU

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

@Mr_ESievert @MJMacfadden I hope to follow along too. I was considering enrolling in a course about implementing mindfulness in the classroom, but I have a feeling your first-hand experiences for middle schoolers would be especially valuable!

[Michelle Macfadden @macfaddenteach]

@Teachintjay Any tips? I'd love to pick your brain!

[Sean Crevier @BusEdCrev]

Enjoyed this. As teachers, it’s often assumed we will / should say yes to everything... so often, for little to no pay. Valuing ourselves = a must. A “no” to one is a simultaneous “yes” to many others. The 6 Questions I Ask Before I Say 'Yes' to Anything https://t.co/ZpKUJHcmzf
