@teachbk Also, an assignment that repeatedly kicks students back to the beginning reinforces a feeling of failure and fosters a hatred of school. The OPPOSITE of what we want.

@teachbk There is no data backing up the use of homework assignments. You did the right thing by speaking to thr teacher first, but I would consider escalating this issue to administration. Forcing him to sign a book doesn’t sit with me well either.

Delighted to help teachers reach kids at home by relaxing the usual licence required to post videos of themselves reading Harry Potter books. Go to https://t.co/77d90pkiYK to find the guidelines. Be well, everyone. More soon! 💫#HarryPotterAtHome

my first picture book.
It’ll be up there for 24 hours for all other time zones. I’m recording them too and will add to my website a few hours later.
Stay safe all

Been homeschooling a 6-year old and 8-year old for one hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or a week.

Student: You know you don’t always have to wear eyeliner to school.

Me: Yeah, why not?

Student: Because principals are supposed to look scary.

Me: I’m not a principal.

Student: But you could be if you quit wearing eyeliner.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is the established treatment for childhood anxiety, but Yale psychologist Eli Lebowitz proposes an alternative: parent training. He helps parents learn how to stop "swooping in" everytime their child is anxious. https://t.co/7SAHwRIoI3

amazed at how simple, heartfelt words can improve relationships
with your peers and change the culture and environment for the
entire school." #InnovateInsideTheBox https://t.co/0rcp0WkyKr

@NicholasFerroni @ImperfectlyMeJH Teachers need to stop saying we teach for the outcome. It makes it ok to grossly underpay us. Did I get into teaching to be rich, of course not, but I also didn't realize my salary would be this low and my benefits this expensive.
Outcomes don't pay the basic living expenses.

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?

Here is some research for you "there is no average time to learn something" and each kid isn't the same so why act like it

I’ve poured my heart into this for the past year and it’ll be out this October. So honored to partner with @gcouros & IMpress to make it happen. The book will also highlight the voices of 50+ educators with diverse backgrounds and experiences. #AuthenticEDU is coming your way...

Educators: What does innovation mean to you? It’s important to remember that we can be amazingly innovative with little/no technology, yet uber-traditional with all that’s currently available. @katiemartinedu dives into Learner-Centered Innovation in this #LeadershipMinute.
