Looking forward to the half point dinner tonight. Half way through their education journey. 13 semesters down & 13 to go #hillcrestcc#Year6#halfwaythrough
Our school system groups students by age to learn the same things in the same amount of time, regardless of each student’s ability. How does that make sense? Some ideas to personalise school https://t.co/WFwyL2o6jR via @gregmiller68
@Mouhssin_Ismail I like student panels as that they are not looking to hear you use the education “buzz words” but often seeing if you can interact well with yp. I find it’s a great way to demonstrate relationships. It’s important to remember teaching is not just about content.
@That_Teachr “School” is broken if students don’t see the value in what they are learning. I wonder if they are late to work? Perhaps the curriculum can change to be more flexible to suit student interest & the “system” could support employed students by changing the structure of the day.

@shariorders Relationships with your students is the most important thing to remember. If Ss trust and respect you, the learning for you and them will be broader and deeper (and more fun).
