One health psychologist says regular exercise does far more than make us physically stronger and healthier. It can also:

🏋️‍♀️ activate pleasure
🏃‍♀️ help us bond to others
🚴🏻‍♀️ improve mood and outlook
🏊‍♀️ reveal hidden strength

Reading fluency is connected with handwriting. Who would have thought. Should we bring back the days of handwriting practice for the sake of practicing handwriting aka “penmanship”?

Teaching young students how to write by hand before moving on to keyboarding can help improve their reading fluency as well. Via @edutopia #ECE #earlyed https://t.co/oHcFwy6C2M

“My students are going to be going into a very diverse world. The more that they're able to be inclusive of others, the better they're going to make the world around them." Here’s how you can combat unconscious bias on the playground.

[Best of Edutopia 2019] #BestofEdutopia2019 One of our most-watched videos of the year showed how drawing is a powerful learning tool, exercising visual, kinesthetic, and linguistic areas of the brain all at the same time.

If students fight, they first work it out through group discussion. Kids who act up or shut down get extra support, not detention or suspension like they used to. The idea is to tend to life troubles at school, instead of sending kids home. https://t.co/Yekw3ueirq

Everyone at @mlk_ms knew something needed to change, but figuring out what would work better was an iterative process @Kschwart #edchat #traumainformed #discipline https://t.co/L8EFMkmh9c

Successive Relearning, quick quizzes aka entrance and exit tickets all revolve around the same idea: more time = more learning.

Cognitive scientists agree on a few fundamental strategies to help students learn and use new information. Teachers who use them say they work too @Kschwart #edchat #teaching #cogscichat https://t.co/s4oZVXeD8d

We need to give students what they need to be successful, and that might look different depending on the student! #HackingSchoolDiscipline

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Not all students (or colleagues) will be ready to talk when they are going through something, but they will definitely remember you were there for them.

Also, we learn through our mistakes. As one teacher said to me this week, and maybe a week before that...mistakes prove that we are human.

[HighFive @HighFiveK12]

Front-loading our time to uncover the why behind behaviors and having students make things right builds empathy and teaches skills to do better next time.

[HighFive @HighFiveK12]

Expecting students to do things that they aren't developmentally ready for can lead to frustration, manifesting in misbehaviors. We need to bring back being a kid.

El recreo es muy importante y puede ser contraproducente castigar a los alumnos sin recreo. Fomenta las habilidades sociales, el pensamiento creativo. El juego y ejercicios tienen beneficios cognitivos. Vídeo @edutopia

Just started my student-teaching for certification in elementary and ESL. For kids, recess is science, a thousand micro-experiments about causes, effects, capabilities, limits, and relationships. Let science happen.

[HighFive @HighFiveK12]

Some kids need more than academics at school.

"Our leaders recognized that we were not proactively meeting students’ needs, as we were using the data more like an autopsy as opposed to a diagnostic tool." https://t.co/Gjhzj1ZRGR by @edutopia #EdData

It's OK to feel your emotions. Acknowledge them, think about where they come from, and then move ahead with new information #edchat #EQ #sketchnote via @woodard_julie

We all make mistakes. Mistakes make us better when we learn from them. Use mistakes as teachable moments.

Repairing harm is when, instead of simply being sent off to a punishment, a student who has misbehaved is tasked with figuring out how to repair the damage caused by their behavior, and then carry out that repair @cultofpedagogy #edchat #discipline https://t.co/0sLnsWReeR
