Do #elementary teachers using choice boards have favorite examples boards they are willing to share? I'm working with an elementary group (esp lower elem) that would benefit from some concrete examples & many of mine are secondary. Thank you in advance! #elemchat #choiceboards

5 factors that cause Burnout:
1.Unfair treatment at work
2.Unmanageable workload
3. Lack of role clarity
4. Lack of communication & support
5. Unreasonable time pressure

All are important to keep in mind in the new school year.

Teachers—we need you and we love you! School looks a little different this fall, and we want to help any way we can, so reply here with your wishlist. If you’re not a teacher, wouldn’t it be something if we cleared ALL of their lists? We can if we work together! #CleartheLists

...."Compared to receiving grades...or grades along with comments...comments [alone] led to heightened continuing motivation [a whopping 1.5 SD higher - & kids who rec'd only comments also]...performed nearly 1/3 of a standard deviation higher than their grade-only counterparts"

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

New metaanalyses (reviews of multiple studies) confirm that substantive feedback WITHOUT GRADES is preferable for student motivation & achievement. Grades were worse than nothing at all re motivation to learn, w/most damage to struggling & older students: https://t.co/yiKyKUkCi0
