If you’re serious about growth,
If you’re serious about change,
If you’re serious about progress…

Then you have to be seriously comfortable with discomfort. You can’t dodge the process. #SaturdayThoughts #satchat

In 24 hrs
I'll transition from remote T to in-person
with half of my Ss remaining remote on Zoom
and half of my Ss in-person (not allowed on Zoom).
I have things set up,
I have my PPE
but I'm also afraid.
200,000 is a big number.

Advice from those who've been doing this work?

I think that we spend too much time teaching skills that are instantly useless because of technology. I wonder what might happen if we still taught number sense but didn't teach the procedures that a calculator can do. https://t.co/YSUKqIDTkf #MTBoS #iteachmath

Real problem: realtors don't show black people all the properties they qualify for. Fake problem: calling the master bedroom the master bedroom. Fix the real problem, realtors.

Ah, yes. I often speak of the long gone breakfast burrito.

Love this idea!

Students are creating their name from pictures of letters found throughout the school. This is soon to be a part of a very important piece of our classroom. Final product coming soon! #cpepride #appleteacher #EveryoneCanCreate

[Caitlin Crossman @MrsX_man]

So cool!

[Daniel Franklin @DFrazzle10]

A couple months ago I shared some student pieces of art created using #keynote. Here is how they were done. Why not give it a try with your students this school year? @welshofer @AppleEDU #EveryoneCanCreate #AppleEDUchat #ADE2019

[Caitlin Crossman @MrsX_man]

Yes yes yes.

Sitting with neuroscientists today who study fact retrieval & brain connectivity. They are clear - math facts are important but best ways to get them are through multiple representations, depth & meaning, not rote memorization @dylanwiliam https://t.co/lwJOTKPeWB

Develop a culture of formal and informal observation. Video tape just a few minutes of your tching, watch on your own, and reflect. #t4tmrw #ksdpd

[Alyssa Taylor @alyssalyntaylor]

“What are you awesome at?” is what should be asked to teachers so instructional leaders/coaches can coach according to strengths. Strengths-based model helps teacher identify strengths, grow, and share. #boldschool #t4tmrw

[Caitlin Crossman @MrsX_man]

Microteaching has an effect size of .88 and we almost never do it. Why? It’s uncomfortable. Are we ok not doing something we know is great for kids bc it’s uncomfortable? #t4tmrw
