I have chosen respect. I want my students to know that I respect them just as much as they respect me. We are all equal and on the same team, together. Respect to each other, classroom materials, and ourselves. @danklumper#dsu360
To the teachers, parents, and children going through and working with online schooling: keep pushing through and doing your best, becuase that is all that matters! We are in this together! @kevinsmithsd#dsumath ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ผ
Algebra Tiles: A great way for students to break down and visually see the problem they are working on! These are concrete models for students to use to better understand different concepts of algebra! https://t.co/l8FTRC12uj #dsumath@kevinsmithsd

Chapter 5: As the school year goes on I want to continue to build and sustain a productive and supportive community of mathematics. You have laid the ground work for a positive learning community, now you must consistently continue to use them. @kevinsmithsd
A7: Let your hair down a bit with students. Let them see your nerdy side, your human side, your goofy side. Then, on the days students are struggling, show compassion and fairness - especially with discipline. This will build your legacy. #tlap
A7: I genuinely want for my students to remember how they felt when they were in my room. I want their confidence, passion, and hard work to carry on beyond my classroom. #tlap#dsu360
A6: I want my students to feel confident and understood in my classroom. I feel like when a child is comfortable and able to express themselves and their strengths they are able to fully reach their goals. #tlap#dsu360
Okay! Let me just say that #dsu360 ED students are on ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ tonight!! Love that you are participating in #tlap!!! Walking into #tlap chat like...
A5: I think pushing for student driven activities and hands on experiences is a great way for students to put their learning into their own hands. This is one way to promote and spark their curiosity and critical thinking! #tlap#dsu360
A4: Differentiate your instruction to have different options to fit the needs of your classroom. Have the materials available that will fit each students strengths best. #tlap#dsu360
A3: Asking students questions about themselves, understanding their interests, and taking the time to get to know them so they know we care! Being there to support them outside of the class is also important-we are not just teaching content; we are caregivers #tlap
