I was lucky to have been able to teach an entire unit on Reconstruction during student teaching. Although often “skipped over,” Reconstruction is essential in the US History curriculum to help students make connections to the present and ponder underlying problems in society.

[FCPSSocialStudies @FcpsSocial]

#FCPSAAHC What was your education about the Reconstruction like? How was it framed? In what ways did it impact/not impact your thinking? Which prompt below resonates with you...

Discerning information online is essential in today’s digital world. Teachers must active foster this skill in their classrooms!

[Digital Inquiry Group @InquiryGroup]

We can teach our students to sort fact from fiction online. Here's what it looks like in a high school classroom. https://t.co/4RWUn2XfSh

[Civic Online Reasoning @CivicOnline]

Our classroom poster reminds students to evaluate information online by asking the following questions: (1) Who's behind the information? (2) What's the evidence? (3) What do other sources say?

It's available to download in English and Spanish. https://t.co/geuXaHrUm6

A6. It is important to collaborate with peers and have a growth mindset. It is always a great day to teach! #NoVAedchat

[Walter Chevalier @wpchevalier]

@MsPettyTweets It is important for us to approach these conversations with humility and an open mind. We can learn from these interactions. #NoVAedchat

[Walter Chevalier @wpchevalier]

A3. How do veteran Ts handle difficult parents? #NoVAedchat

[Walter Chevalier @wpchevalier]

A5. There are numerous resources that Ts can use to improve learning and enhance the student experience. Some great tools include @nearpod @canva and some great SS-based tools include @icivics @SHEG_Stanford @Gilder_Lehrman #NoVAedchat

[Walter Chevalier @wpchevalier]

@jordyn_pistilli We live in a global society, and we should teach in a way that includes voices of all cultures. These perspectives can combine to create a more complete understanding of history. #NoVAedchat

[Walter Chevalier @wpchevalier]

A4. It is important to create a classroom environment where ALL students feel welcomed and valued. The classroom is the best place for students to learn in a healthy community of learners, despite any differences in learning. Differentiated Instruction is critical! #NoVAedchat
