As everybody knows, teachers spend so much on their classrooms and this year is no different for me. I will be moving schools and grade levels, so if you feel inclined to help I would greatly appreciate it.

A5: first, giving students a safe space to be themselves. After that, allowing them to come to us when they have an issue of any kind. Why should our LGBTQ+ Ss feel like they cannot feel safe in our rooms if our Ss that are not LGBTQ+?

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

A4: I try to do a lot of reading and staying up to date with the current issues and accomplishments that the LGBTQ+ community is encountering while also allowing my student to feel like they have a safe space in my classroom. #ksedchat

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

A3: this is something I need to do better of. I always ask my students for their preferred names and allow them to change them at any time, but otherwise I need to do better. #ksedchat

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

A2: this is something that we can easily do as educators! We can start by being our authentic selves. Ss that see us being our true selves will feel safer to be their authentic selves #ksedchat

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

A1: I personally know a bit about the LGBTQ+ community, as I’m a member myself and I have many friends that are. #ksedchat

Hate to have to leave the chat early, but first day of school tomorrow and still so much to do! #ksedchat hope to be more active this year

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

I’m working on this! I have ideas of how to get started but have not implemented them. #ksedchat

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

@mrvesco Great minds think alike! I just finished a class for my masters degree that talked about how to use technology for ELLs!

[Shelby Simpson @MissSimpson21]

YES! Technology can help with native language translation and visual representation of content. Plus Ss are able to collaborate without a language barrier! #ksedchat

[Alyssa Cook @alyssaashley014]

Q1: Can technology enhance learning for ELs/MLs (English Learners/Multilingual Learners)? #KSEDchat #aasl

Visible Learning Day 2: Feedback for unsuccessful students must first deal with the negative feelings in order to break the cycle of failure. Suggestions for improvement may not be heard or perceived as constructive otherwise.
