Know the difference between coaching and criticism. That is the only way to develop trust with your players. – Larry Brown

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

You should pay more attention to how they learn than you do to how you teach. – Pat Kirwan

You need to take care of yourself first through daily self-care so you can be the best that you can be for others #havetofillyourcup #W4edburnouttips

As teachers, we want to be active and involved in our schools and with our students. But we aren’t superheroes. We can’t do it all. It’s okay to say “no” and decide how you can best be active and involved without becoming drained and overwhelmed. #W4Edburnouttips

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

@kaylasegura7 Agreed. I think it's hard for teachers because we're natural helpers.

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

@MsShaw252 I'm also a big fan of leaving "work" at school.

@TheKdgTeach I have a folder of nice notes/cards and a notebook where I write down all of the especially funny things kids have said.

A8: Currently it's for learning because I use almost everything as formative. I feel confident that I know which of my students get it, which are on the right path, and which need a bit more of my help. This helps me plan the 2nd half of the lesson or tomorrow's. #MB8assess

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

A7: From my experience, even students who can struggle with SEL skill can explain what they're feeling and why. This makes me think self-assessment could be used effectively. #MB8assess

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

A6: This is a tougher question. I think there are two main parts. I think the first is knowing your students well and the second is putting in the effort to give them ways to show their individual learning. We need to put them in a position to succeed. #MB8assess

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

A5: Yes, because I think many teachers were forced to get more comfortable with online ways of teaching/assessing and therefore will be more likely to use them in the future. #MB8assess

@BeldePeter Nail on the head, Mr. Belde!

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

Painfully relatable

[Jessica Slobodzian @JessicaSlobodz3]

@kaylasegura7 @BeldePeter Agreed.....I feel like the district is always having us assess. All the time. #MB8assess

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

A4: Using formative assessments! It's a checkpoint, not at endgame. It's a chance for people to see how much they've learned and what they still need to work on. This will help the teacher to plan their future instruction. #MB8assess

[Mr.Belde @BeldePeter]

@EAlbrecht77 A3: A quality assessment takes student and teacher growth into account with the content that was truly delivered. Are you testing students just to test them? Or are we all gaining something from the assessment? #MB8assess

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

@MsBromaghim Good thought! Need to be aware of any barriers that could prevent them from showing you everything that they learned.

[Michael Humphrey @Michael55519614]

@haleymorse22 Modeling is big, especially with younger students. I think sometimes even in the older elementary grades we forget how valuable and helpful it can be.
