@teacher98mom05 @teacher2teacher Wow! What a great idea that establishes the kind of thoughtful, curiosity-driven environment you want! Do you have them do anything next? Make any inferences about each other?

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

Gotta chunk it!

Thought takes time and vulnerability. Both are often in short supply.

[TED-Ed @TED_ED]

Do you agree?

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

@educatorpaula Even worse...when you're late, and all your other friends already are sitting next to each other :(

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

@KateRysavy Classic option is to do a quickwrite before hand - they can even switch with a partner and have to read their partner's contribution!

@SherryAnne100 I am a HS English teacher and my district has had some TOUGH cuts lately. Any little bit will help with our day to day! https://t.co/uAmbaO6CpW

@edutopia Anything by Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book would be great for MS, or Neverwhere for HS). Also The Poet X, Educated, or The Night Circus.

@JustJem24 My HS English classrooms could use some day to day supplies! With all the online work, we've got fewer concrete resources to include with our activities - and I'd love to get my students text marking and annotating to the best of their ability! https://t.co/uAmbaNP11m

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

@iTeach2Motivate Every little bit helps to keep our energetic, crowded classrooms running! Please consider supporting my English classrooms in our day to day activities! https://t.co/uAmbaNP11m

@MrsHankinsClass Be ok with saying no. There will be pressures on you in new ways, and it's ok to set boundaries. Overidentifying with the career and letting all you time go to school can be a slippery slope.

T @QUIMBYnotRamona builds a student library by unwrapping a new book every Friday – and displaying the results!

Keeping to the essentials. Clear for us, clear for students.

[TCEA @TCEA]

Focus your planning by getting clear on just three things: the WHAT, the HOW, and the WHY.

@StanglerLuke Have the ultimate backup plan of the most essential skills for the course, just in case. I had at least 5 students this year in this situation.

@ScienceSchaaman Good advice for parents and teachers, as the demands of education and media use get more intertwined #SMU622

@bernardmason I love the ease of grading and clear expectations. I'm a teacher who obsessed over every half point, and rubrics force me to pick a lane. And I like minimized rubrics like one point rubrics. I use them all the time! #SMU622

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

@Jackiekoenig2 I always struggle with a solid wrapup - these are great! #SMU622

[Mary Meier @mfmeier26]

@MrBlankD11 This might be just what parents need - a jump start in how to approach some of these messy topics. #SMU622
