In recent years, researchers have found that social studies (which is often marginalized in the elementary grades) may be one of the keys to shrinking the achievement gap between low-income & more affluent households. @scottmpetri @moler3031 @NCSSNetwork https://t.co/bPIPb6gqni

[Jen Page @JenMPage]

Nearly 55% of the academic vocabulary comes from SS and “increased instructional time in SOCIAL STUDIES—but NOT ELA—is associated with improved reading ability.” If you’re @OCSSNetwork #OCSS2022 keep advocating for THIS being the move to improve reading scores and skills.

We expect teachers to be accountable for student success, so as leaders we have to be accountable for teacher success. This is one of the ways we put students first.

The #1 priority of admin should be staff morale.
Everything else is secondary. Here's a few tips:
* give them a voice
* Trust them as professionals
* Treat everyone as individuals/ humans
* Respect their time
* Show them you care personal/professional
* celebrate/ appreciate

I'd like to do a lesson next year where students research the context of various memes; I'd love any history memes anyone has collected over the years 😍

Spending some time exploring using video games in the classroom to try to implement them more in my class next year. Here's an assignment we did at the beginning of the semester using Assassin's Creed to analyze the Haitian Revolution

#MOPWR2022 participants learned how technology can help support learners of all levels and increase the efficiency of differentiation. Andrea Snapp and Tori Zieger of @StJosephSchools shared ‘bad’ examples and showed how to make learning more accessible to all students.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

We are feeling the weight of a day during which an Asian woman was pushed to her death in New York and members of a synagogue are still held hostage in Texas. Our hearts and solidarity reside with those for whom these incidents are deeply personal and painful.

My feedback on this assignment was just "Good response, but don't forget to address WHY poison was chosen". And people say social studies classes are boring #affairofthepoisons #sschat

Dear Journalists,

If you are doing segments asking parents how they feel about what their children are supposedly learning in school, ALSO ask them how they feel about their children’s teachers having to work extra jobs, buy their own supplies and struggle to survive.

[Bored Teachers @Bored_Teachers]

Teachers need to stop being encouraged to practice self-care from the same place that makes them need more of it.

[TCEA @TCEA]

This is BEYOND cool! @LiamOwens24 created a Bookopoly #reading challenge and has graciously made it shareable for all of you 💙
