Take it one day at a time and remember this.
“You’re a teacher.
You are amazing.
You can do anything.
But you cannot do everything.”

We can't always see the struggles others are facing, but that doesn't mean the struggles don't exist. 🙌
I have decided my tweeting is pretty much the equivalent of shouting into the void. #PLN #whatpln #teacherlife #twitternovice
Love using @parlayideas and love involving students in setting the classroom and discussion norms. Some of these suggested discussion points are better than the ones I typically use. I look forward to trying them out this year.
Get students involved in the process of setting the ground rules for a discussion. This gives them ownership in the #socraticseminar process. 🔄💥

How are you building Ss word wealth? I am striving for Ss to develop word awareness as well as vocabulary. We do activities with finding/defining words using our roots, recording beautiful/powerful language we find, etc, but I would love to do more. @teacher2teacher #vocabulary

Moving away from a traditional mindset of teaching writing, I follow the @JasonReynolds83 school of "Write it, then right it"
👉 Students draft (WRITE IT)
👉 They peer review
👉 THEN a formal writing lesson
👉 Self-assess and plan for the next draft
👉 Then revise (RIGHT IT)
Striving for Cultural Responsiveness #BacktoSchool2021 : I'm considering starting with my 8th graders teaching about something they know to give them an early opportunity for success & confidence while giving me insight into their knowledge, passions & existing skills. #CIL532
"Does this use of technology help support the full human talent development of every student, and all groups..? Or not?" Just because the lesson uses tech doesn't mean tech makes the lesson better. Great @learnforjustice article. #CIL532 #createequity bit.ly/36HmQW5
My teaching partner and I often discuss teaching novels without killing Ss' love for the text . I appreciate this @TeachThought article on creating content-based inquiry questions that allow Ss to dig deep into content and skills. Also, <3 class rubrics!

“Culturally responsive instruction doesn't mean you're only mentioning issues of race and implicit bias...It means that you’re also focused on building brainpower by helping students leverage and grow their existing funds of knowledge.” ~@Ready4Rigor #CIL532
