SEL in schools used to thrive through recess, unstructured play, Music, Art, and PE. But with increased focus on testing, these crucial areas have dwindled, leading to students lacking essential social/emotional skills and increased misbehavior.

Still one of the best. #leadership

@Patriot1776Q17 @FOXNashville Good news is, if you live in the state of TN the Dept of Education definitely believes in allowing children to fail, as many 8-9 year olds will experience this soon. I am hoping this failure brings forth all the great things that being a failure should entail.

@CtrPtMtg @FOXNashville I am an educator and that is why I am able to respond to this with the understanding of why it would be more effective.

[Lisa Winton @wintonUT2005]

@CtrPtMtg @FOXNashville How in the world would it be less work for teachers?! Taking a grade on random assignments you give students is way less work and often has no feedback to follow up to provide students guidance, here is your grade and that is it. There are many tools to track individual students.

Educators, Talk to me.
What mental health supports does your school system have in place to offer to students?

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed, but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated.

If a 2nd grade word problem on a standardized test is written at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, then you aren’t testing for math, you’re testing for above grade level reading. And doesn't reflect student knowledge of actual 2nd grade math curriculum.

Building relationships doesn't just help with behavior in the classroom, but students also work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

@PaytonMuseTV @FOXNashville This is legal as long as they were not passed out. Organizations can leave materials such as this on community tables in schools and students can pick up things at their discretion.

Teaching is… what people do when they want to make a difference… when they want to improve the lives of others… when they want to create brighter futures… when they want to change the world, one child at a time. That’s what teaching is.

@NeliusSharon @ArtsTcs @EastLincolnEle1 @TCSPublic @ScottHargrove4 Two of my favorite people!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Please remember that all those interactions you have with your students outside of the lesson really matter. The smiles… the eye contact… the jokes, the fist bumps… and the silliness…they’re all important. They remind kids that they matter. Those moments can mean the world.
