Make sure everyone on your team knows holding someone accountable is something you do for them, it's not something you do to them!

In 2018, I shared some PowerPoint files I had made summarizing various research papers I wanted to share with teachers. The DropBox now includes those from 2019, and I will add those from later years in the coming weeks: https://t.co/kIKghom89o.

Differentiation is designing instruction with students in mind, and a remedy for the ineffective one-size-fits-all model.
It's not impossible. It's not unrealistic. It's what we are supposed to do as teachers.

Everything on the left-hand column is considered good practice.

Most awkward 'misheard your student moment':

Student: "Today I am going to tell you about how the world celebrates Adolf Hitler"

Me:.... Pardon?

Student: Eid al-Fitr?

Think and Link Grids have been a great addition to our History lessons this year. Spot on for Y11 revision, providing the space for students to recall knowledge and provide an explanation of how and why content links together. Great for revising across topics. #historyteacher

@MarcusLuther6 Sounds silly, but I build in progress bars to my to-do lists! It helps

Love our school's tradition of clapping out the soon-to-be graduates on their last day of school.

@historychappy I'm not a textbook teacher, but this is my fav book by far

[Tania Tasker (she/her) @tania_tasker]

@MarcusLuther6 I teach ages 11-18, will start with my older classes and work down. Thanks for the idea!
