@BigIdeasMath hi! I haven’t been able to get ahold of someone. How can I gain access to my grade level dynamic classroom?🤩

[Tori Benton @MsBenton7]

Listening to @TyHoward_Speaks presentation “Having Tough & Sensitive Culturally Based Conversations at Work or in the Classroom - The Right Way.” One of the things sticking with me is “education - once you put it in there, no one can take it from you!” #UPCSTrngDay #GGPost4Prize

@teacher2teacher Q5: I definitely like to greet kids at the door. But for my extra quiet kids, I try to seek out during transitions or during homeroom or any free time really! #T2Tchat #educ582

Q3. What’s your first step toward building a classroom community where students work together? #T2Tchat

[Tori Benton @MsBenton7]

@teacher2teacher A3: in one of my recent PD courses, they provided us with resources for community building. I am excited to try these out this year! #T2Tchat #educ582

[Tori Benton @MsBenton7]

A2: I think there are a lot of ways but by the way they see you interact with others is what means the most to students #T2Tchat #educ582

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

Q2. How do you communicate to students that they are welcome to be their authentic selves in your shared classroom? #T2Tchat

@jklings @duolingo How’s it work?!

[Steve Harvey @IAmSteveHarvey]

When you can’t control what’s happening. Control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where your power is 💯

[Tori Benton @MsBenton7]

@MissKonkle5th Very cool!

[Tori Benton @MsBenton7]

@TaylorNesmith1 Good point! I feel if the teacher is defining general words students are unfamiliar with, maybe it’s ok. But, if the teacher is defining math terms right before a math test…then did the students even understand the terms to begin with? And will they remember them after the test?

Have you tried a similar test-prep technique?

That's why T Juliana Matherson shares this "Spin and Solve" with her math Ss: "I change out the problems each week, and even give students an opportunity to create problems."
