A5: sometimes we need to be reminded that innovation doesn't mean reinventing the wheel or straying from comfort zones. We need opportunities like this to see others in action and hear successes to refresh and motivate. #strategysmashing

@heatherbest_ @Seesaw This works with small passages on my own kiddo because she doesn't want to be recorded until she's "practiced", er rehearsed, and who am I to break it to her that rereading for fluency is what I wanted! #strategysmashing #teachermomstyle

A4: Too many strategies to list! It's like Goldilocks...you try everything until you find something just right!#strategysmashing

@BonnieGrotheer I'm going to need to start sending in videos of my own kid doing math homework...I wish more teachers shared video or some sort of electronic strategy because math will soon leave me behind! #strategysmashing

@Courtne54841717 I love #SeeSaw since it's one of the few things appropriate to integrate even with my kiddos. I video and parents love it. #strategysmashing

@GellenbeckKari I miss having a smartboard... #thinglink was a great tool for the class to use with smartboard. #strategysmashing

A3: the best digital tools for reading is recording and comparing to the very people they try to emulate on videos. Finding their favorite author on YouTube to listen to how they read what they've authored and have the kids try to pace and express like them #strategysmashing

A2: Giving autonomy tends to narrow the "assignment vs. interest" power struggle #strategysmashing

A1: My passion in education is the milestones achieved by those that it takes inches to get there. #strategysmashing

@BraytonLeonhar2 @debbie_mcduffie @darrickmcneill3 have we "checked in"? https://t.co/QLxSP0F3ND

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

We asked all our students to write down the name of an adult in the school that they trusted... an adult they could talk to if they needed someone. 38 kids did not have one. We talked about this as a faculty today. This is NOT ok. EVERY kid needs to feel connected!

Based on the research, we need a “do no harm” approach to assigning homework.

2018 #NCTeacherWorking ConditionsSurvey complete! Is yours? Maybe we could use 2016 data to drive school improvement.

[Courtney Roy @TeachSpecNeeds]

@debbie_mcduffie Thank you soooo much for posting us!

Instead of detention, Ss at educator @JessiStephensVP's school pick one of these envelopes, perform the kind action inside and learn the power of respecting others!

Might your school try something similar?
