How can we expect our Ss to take risks & make mistakes w/out modeling a #growthmindset? #failforward #learning #education #edchat

@kimradersma Happy Birthday! 🥳 #ageisbeauty

Thanks for the shoutout @teacher2teacher :D

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

On Fridays, this class gives feedback! Check out the feedback strategies T @msjcollis' Ss agreed on before moving forward! #StudentVoice #HSchat #EngChat

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

The most effective classroom management strategy is strong relationships with students.

The most effective healthy #culture building strategy is strong relationships with adults.

Every day. Every encounter.

Dear @BetsyDeVosED

I know you were never a teacher and that you rarely visit schools (especially public schools), but here is a simple visual that even you will understand... #ClassSizeMatters

[Chris Finnie @ChrisFinnie05]

This is my classroom. It has 33 chairs in it. If the class size is raised by students, I would potentially have to fit 39 desks in here. Not sure the facilities will handle it, let alone the students that will be crammed in here. #classsizematters #osstf

#FeedbackFriday w/ my #gradenine #English @JacobHespeler Do's & don'ts & 5mins x 8 blogs = 40mins of focused #fun //#blended #whyiteach

[Jennifer Collis @msjcollis]

@teacher2teacher That all people gain resilience through support & skill-building, and we as teachers can/should focus on skill-building for the issues our Ss are already dealing with rather than creating new obstacles in the name of "grit"

[Jennifer Collis @msjcollis]

VERY #inspired by @jkdstodds presentation about #resilience & the #impact we can have on our #highschool Ss by helping cultivate it in & out of the #classroom // #whyiteach #wholechild #education #profdev

[Jill K Stoddart, PhD (she/her) @jkdstodds]

Thrilled to be presenting on Resilience and student engagement @wrdsb Jacob Hespler Secondary School staff. Thanks for the great discussion! #resilience #teachersmakeadifference #StudentEngagement

[Jennifer Collis @msjcollis]

Feeling inspired by @msakramer's session about #creativity in the #classroom //#teacherlife #Masters #summer #school #whyiteach

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

"The blurring of formative and summative grades that occurs in averaging, as I have confronted often, deforms teaching and learning because students are being held accountable during the learning process (and thus discouraged from taking risks)." https://t.co/Q2p2C9YO98

@teacher2teacher @mark_haddon I loved hearing my Ss discuss what causes them to sympathize/care for others, thinking beyond the characters
