As we return to school today, we will put basic needs and caring for each other first...some are returning rested and warm; others are returning exhausted and hungry. We are here for each other! #terrelltogether#maslowbeforebloom
@LSpencerEdD Our district had a late work policy, any work turned in 1 day late can only earn up to a 70 and any work after that is not accepted. Teachers are reprimanded for accepting late work past the day. It’s supposed to teach responsibility.
This week's holiday project inspired by the kids - I'm designing 3D printed snappable ion bricks to help students learn about ionic compounds and their formulae! #STEM#3DPrinting#Fusion360#Chemistry
Admin: getting feedback from faculty is important. It gives them a sense that their opinion is valued while you disregard anything they suggest. It keeps them at bay until they start complaining again. At that point, give them another meaningless survey and repeat the process.
Those who buy my book are entered into a sweepstakes drawing including:
-A co-teacher for all classes
-On-demand photocopying
-3 get-out-of-observation with distinguished ratings cards
-A legal phone jammer so you can take delight in students futilely trying to use their phones
A student came to school with fire engine red hair. Did it cause a minor distraction? Yes, for about 10 minutes and then everybody was fine. There was no need for ME to cause a major disruption in our day. It is often adults who cause disruptions for things we don’t like.
It’s true that admins should “inspect what they expect.” Accountability is a real thing. But they should always assume Ts are trying to do the right thing. Every teacher wants to be a good teacher, & this assumption provides a good foundation for the teacher/ admin relationship.
Chemistry joins with physics and @samirmoezzi@CLEAPSS to show great effect. 1M Na2SO4 with UI is electrolysed above a Nd magnet. OH-ions rotate anticlockwise, H+ clockwise. Thanks to chem teachers in Holland for idea.. Now for the explanation, oh dear run out of space, but HELP.
#MisheardLyrics my very innocent friend thought that the country song “prop me up by the juke box when I die” I as saying “knock me up behind the juke box until I die.”
