2/2 a Ron Clark book - "The Essential 55". Take bits and pieces of what you think would work for you and your students and work it!

Do any of you have teaching-related book recommendations?

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

New teaching-related books I've read this summer and recommend: "Hacking School Discipline" - Nathan Maynard and Brad Weinstein; "Classroom Management for Art, Music and PE Teachers" - Michael Linsin (as a "specials" teacher, this was great info/reminders); and finally - 1/2

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

Teaching-related books I've reread this summer: "The Classroom Management Book" - Harry and Rosemary Wong; "For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood" - Christopher Emdin; " and "Teach Like a Pirate" - Dave Burgess. All highly recommended.

I just told my cat, Charlotte, to "Stay seated," so I guess I'm ready to go back to school.

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

I can't wait for them to teach me some things! I'm thinking flipped classroom learning where they share out is in our future!

Ice tie dying face masks today. Wish me luck!

@MsEnglish101 @Schoology This is an understatement, but I could learn so much from you!

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

@b_e_sanders Please do!

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

@b_e_sanders @_EdFarm @BhamCitySchools @scienceplusyou I see some familiar names and faces!!!

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

I hate to be THAT teacher, but I'm going to be spending half my evening trying to figure out how to make Schoology *cuter*. I'll miss Google Classroom!

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

Cohort 1B’s Nonviolent Social Change app idea was a winner in my book! #CEILeadandLearn #EveryoneCanCreate

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

@b_e_sanders Completely normal!!

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

Also, do you know how many people were in one room in that photo??? That's unfathomable in the Age of Covid-19! How times have changed so quickly.

[Crystal Peden @mspeden1]

Reminded of this day (that's me with the great Pernell Allen presenting on Swift Playgrounds with some GREATS in the audience - the mayor, Civil Rights heroes, leaders, even a certain Apple CEO) and the absolute blessing #EdFarm has been for me, my students, and Birmingham.

[Happenin's InThe'Ham: A Better View of Birmingham @BhamHappenins]
