2nd Grade Teacher, SEL content creator, education renegade, disruptor of status quo teaching, on a mission to change lives through Social Emotional Learning.
It's not teaching content vs. building relationships, or one before the other. It's the difference between, "Turn to page 28 to learn about the Revolution." and "I can't wait to take an this adventure back in time with you." The synergy of content and relationship is the magic.
I was flipping through my classroom photos from this month. This was a photo from RECESS...I love when they get excited to talk about what we're learning, even on their free time.
@GardnerChris44 Ideas like this point so much to a shift toward competency based education models...we know that kids learn concepts at different paces, let's make that the acceptable norm and not a time consuming accommodation.
There's a certain feeling you get when someone you don't know, somewhere else in the world validates your ideas or perspective with a like a comment. How do we teach kids (and adults) to value that connectedness without letting it dictate their self worth and purpose? #SEL
Ooh!!!
I’m especially intrigued because this was developed by respected researcher @GaabLab.
One to watch! 👀

If you feel strongly about something, have the courage to stand up for it. Even if the status quo is resistant or obstinate. Be able to articulate why you believe what you believe and call upon your courage to press on.
@FbellomoB@gcouros This is why Twitter is such a powerful unifier...practicioners are able to interact with authors that bring such value to what we do on a daily basis. Picking up these books now, and working on a way to get more of our CVS education community here for some growth and connection!
@JonGordon11 OPEN...to new ideas, learning, and opportunities, things that haven't been done in classrooms before, new ways to make education better for this decade and beyond!
beyond his years, and fun enough for my kids to enjoy too, they love to jam. His tagline is Treat People With Kindness and it seems like that's his truth. If we can help kids grow up to value human connection and empathy like this, we'll be golden. #SocialEmotionalLearning#SEL
Not usually a celebrity follower but since my #OneWord2020 is OPEN, I watched an interview with @Harry_Styles and I was so impressed by his honesty, poise, and personal measure of musical success (spoiler, it's not money or commercial success). His new music is beautiful, far

My 4 y.o just used Talk Moves on me...He pointed to an apostrophe in the book title, I explained ownership...He pointed to a dash, I said it separates the numbers. He says, "Can you say more about that?" 🔥🤓 #NGSS#twoteachersforparents#olaf's1-2-3s
