It’s so important to build relationships with parents of your students too! Don’t let the first time they hear from you be because of a discipline issue. Show them you care about the good stuff happening too! #whatmatteredtoday. @DrTchr #EDMLidk

It is important to hear and share the experiences we are having in our internship. This has allowed me to learn new strategies share victories and struggles. Building a community of people who can lean on each other matter to me today! #22EDML584 @DrTchr

I have learned that it is so important to give the same energy and excitement to every class period.. and flexibility is key to having successful lessons! #584SENIORS2022

I will stay committed to self care this semester by finding ways to relax through exercise and fun hobbies. @DrTchr #EDML584

We as educators are responsible for advocating for our students with disabilities. Those students deserve the same sense of belonging in the classroom as everyone else. Those students are do not have “special needs”, they have the same wants and needs as their everyone else.

It's easy to get frustrated at students this year for behaviors, but do keep in mind that it's a hard year for them too.

Teaching for a deeper understanding goes beyond memorization allowing students to learn how to think critically, make real-world connections, and be active citizens of their community. #522 @DrTchr

It is important to always ensure your lesson relates back to that enduring question. Remember the big picture! @DrTchr #EDTE522

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

As teachers we must unlearn the some of the practices we saw our teachers use in the classroom. There is always room for growth and improvement that will allow for a more just classroom environment. @DrTchr #edml522

@DrTchr It allows the chance to take a step back to evaluate what is working and what needs improvement.

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

Self reflection leads to self improvement! #fall522 @DrTchr

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

My “why” I want to teach is to advocate for students whose voice may not be heard and whose needs may not be met otherwise. It is so important to seek out support and collaborate with colleagues to ensure each student is set up for success. #fall522 @DrTchr

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

Teach students how to think, not what to think! Also, allow them time for self-reflection and self-evaluation. @DrTchr

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

Being a critical thinker doesn’t come from a list of strategies but from an awareness and mindset you carry with you. @DrTchr #makeitsecondnature

[MaryMichael Belue @mikes_mary]

When students are in an environment where they feel comfortable and heard, they are more likely to share their thoughts and participate in discussions. A strong sense of classroom community leads to the sharing of knowledge. @DrTchr #makecommunityapriority

Middle Schoolers ( & ALL readers) need to recognize how people within specific disciplines think and work to better understand the purpose of what they are reading!! #DisciplinaryLiteracy #ReadingInYourContentArea @DrTchr

Reading is Power! #openabook #changetheworld @DrTchr
