@TorieRMarquez @missvillysclass Oh yeah, love them! But as always, I am still the master as escape and evasion. 😄

[Ryan Fontanella @ProfFonty]

It is always great to see speakers who have experienced the history we teach sharing that knowledge with our students! @missvillysclass

As a historian, I love the @WWIImuseum and when my 13 year old asks to go visit I one ecstatic dad.

@SavageSamchez @mrshowell24 Agree 100% @SavageSamchez! We tend to think of adults learning as being similar to those of children, but they aren't- and I think it is a major reason why teachers dislike PD in schools sometimes!

Compliance is not engagement. And a school system or a classroom focused on compliance rather than engagement nurtures acquiescence rather than curiosity and intelligence.

[Ryan Fontanella @ProfFonty]

Sentence stems are a great way to model writing concepts for AP classes. Students can't be assumed to write well if we don't model effective writing and sentence stems are great for that. @missvillysclass

[Samantha Sanchez @SavageSamchez]

I love using sentence stems in the classroom!

Why is @NISDHSSocSt the best? Our coordinators! Great conversations about our mission and vision this morning that developed into looking at cultural and artistic innovations @SAMAart using @GooseChaseEDU. We are excited to see how we can have our own learning renaissance.

[Ryan Fontanella @ProfFonty]

Great day going over our "doing history" principles with new teachers. From engaging digital tools to interactive investigations, these teachers seemed fired up about the new year and we are equally excited to have them on board. #nisd2021nta
