“It’s as if the teacher is the mediator between the student and the subject of study. You’re saying, ‘Okay, how can I help you understand this? In what ways can I connect you to the material on a deeper level so that you can make sense of it?’”

@DeweesKenneth Thank you, Mr. Dewees! 😊

Guess who just got two degrees cooler? 🎓 #ouclassof2020

[Bonnie Baker @okieducator]

Wow. Yes, please.

[Miranda Koutahi @teachkoutahi]

This is a fantastic idea! 💡

[Magistra K @MagistraKiernan]

Student gave me an amazing idea for Feel Great Friday. Today they had to nominate "myself" and why they were proud of themselves. At the end of class I read them all out loud (anonymously) I'm trying to teach students to be proud of their achievements. #MentalHealthinTheClassroom

go outside. paint. play video games. sleep. read a book. laugh. take a long shower. eat something good. hug a family member if you can. run. throw a football. scream. write. watch your favorite movie.

I love teacher Twitter, because I find all sorts of ideas for building relationships in the classroom. Gratias tibi ago, Magistra K!

[Magistra K @MagistraKiernan]

Received this email from my student yesterday about our Feel Great Fridays. This is my 3rd year doing these and it has 100% changed the mood and tone of my class. To see what students submit https://t.co/glRXPs9Ub1 & then I read them at the end of class

Dear student emailing to assure me you are usually a better student than you have been so far in our class this semester: You are fine. I believe you. We are in a pandemic and I am usually a better teacher than I have been this semester, too. Signed, me.

@oelrefinnej Yay, congratulations! 🎉 I’m not surprised in the slightest, but still—one less thing to worry about this semester!

First day, first semester of college vs. first day, last semester of college!

@SkyeAShirley You’re so welcome, Skye!

Names have power, and we should always respect the name a student wishes to be called. Salvē, Seraphina, et grātiās tibi agō nārrantī fābulam tuam!

[Miranda Koutahi @teachkoutahi]

This is the vibe I want to bring to student teaching! #almostthere

First day haiku!

Just found the next two books on my reading list! #womenwritinglatin

[Miranda Koutahi @teachkoutahi]

For centuries, the myth of a white Greece/Rome has been used to justify colonialism and white supremacy. We teachers need to debunk that myth, embrace the historically multicultural Mediterranean, and amplify black and brown Classicists’ voices. https://t.co/fB6NOb97Ab

Idk who needs to hear this, but Christianity isn’t the solution to racism. My humanity shouldn’t be predicated on your religious faith and its variations.
