I need this-

"Train your mind to be calm in every situation."

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

I love this for a classroom where you may do an understanding check and some kids may be too afraid to speak up

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

With this "Exit Thoughts" board, T Ms. Cring invites Ss to let her know how their learning is going – from "almost" to "got it" to "love it"!

@simonteen @jamiesumner_ I think I'm a seasonal reader!! When it comes to the fall, I find dark and stormy books... but when it is the summer, I find myself with travel and romance novels

[Leon @MindMatterMoney]

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

This is a super cool way to do icebreakers for older kids (or just teacher)!

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

These facts are a mystery ... until Ss figure them out!

Have you ever tried an innovative getting-to-know-you activity in your class?

@MissKonkle5th Teaching collaborative skills is tricky and important! Keep it up!!!!#formativechat

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

@e_reindl @TeachThought This is awesome! It really spells out the steps on conquering the non- traditional classroom! super helpful

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

@coach_happy I totally agree. I feel like more things began to fall apart due to the nature of how close everyone used to work together. Parallel play, partner work, group reading, etc. seemed to be disrupted due to the fear of spread. But now the management has yet to recover from this

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

The expressions on our face can change the entire tone of the room. Something to think about when there is a problem happening in the room but you don't want to give away how you feel if it won't benefit the kids.

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

Often times when working with students, behavior is communication. As educators, how we respond is the lesson.

@EThorntonGHS June is the time for me to settle down, but by the time I'm relaxed.. it's time to start planning for the next school year. Back to school sales come sooner and sooner each year!

Educating the mind without educating the heart is not education at all. #Aristotle

@ERobbPrincipal Exactly! You have to care about and respect the person who is giving you information, or you just won't listen! Similar to us talking to someone we don't like.. we just don't care what they have to say! Developing a strong teacher relationship is everything

[Evan Robb @ERobbPrincipal]

A simple leadership tip: Students work hardest for teachers they like and respect. It's the same for teachers and admin and it's needed for a strong culture!

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

Now this is awesome! Check out this reading about basic coding skills enhancing some young scholars!! so neat

[Education Week @educationweek]

The study found that coding exercises enhanced the preschoolers’ problem-solving skills, creativity, and determination. #TeacherTwitter https://t.co/cC83F2dOYE

@ChadRansom7 I really love doing it because it also highlights how your thinking has changed! You may have really thought one way of teaching was full proof two years ago... but when you look back, you may be able to build about and change that thought process a bit! I love using this method.

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

A7: I keep all of my notes on my google drive-- so I think I will collect what I learn about my assertive and passive voice research and share it with my coworkers once I begin my job. I feel like this is something other people can relate to so I would love to share it! #educoach

[Lauren Smith @lsmith0917]

Q7: In what ways will you share your summer learning with others? #educoach

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

A9: I really enjoyed reading about other people's goals... it really puts into perspective that we are all on our own journey to success. That really motivates me to move onward and upwards in order to create that voice I want. Thank you everyone!!! #educoach

[Lauren Smith @lsmith0917]

Q9: What is a takeaway that you have from tonight’s chat that will result in you taking action in your own learning?

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

@lsmith0917 I've also been finding myself more and more making "dated" goals. By this date I'll have X accomplished. My birthday is September 17, so I'm giving myself till then to get comfortable in my new area and job so that I can move on to a new goal!

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

A8: I really like to workout- I have been finding myself more and more just doing pilates or HIIT if I have free time. Between grad school and work, I really try to stay calm and not stress too much... but it's way easier said than done! #educoach

[Lauren Smith @lsmith0917]

Q8: What are some things you have planned this summer for self-care? How will you make sure you have time for rest and relaxation? #educoach

[Britt Dancha @msdancha]

@TheRealLindsay2 Oh my gosh this is amazing!!!! I need to start making something like this.. this list is really inspiring honestly !!
