California is now the first state in America to provide free breakfast and lunch to all public school students - regardless of financial need. Proud of my home state for ensuring no child in our public school system goes hungry. #education #school #k12 independent.com/2022/08/17/c…

Today, I celebrate my 2,000th class session @UCRiverside @UCRExtension. Since my professional #educator journey began in 2004, I've taught over 10,000 #projectmanagement students from 56 countries. Honored to be part of such a wonderful institution. #highereducation

#preschool teachers, is this research flawed? Is there merit to it? Might we actually get better results from simply letting little children play? #teachertwitter #K12 npr.org/2022/02/10/107940604…

School crossing guard shows us the meaning of true heroism. #teachertwitter #education

"What we don’t often hear is that part of being a lifelong learner is evolving not only in what we learn but in how we learn." @edutopia #lifelonglearning #teachertwitter edutopia.org/article/3-keys-…

As a university educator, I appreciate this take on a poorly-conceived stunt. Nothing in that clue compels me to investigate the locker; not to mention being buried in the depths of the syllabi legalese.
This is a great debunking of an especially stupid “kids these days” story

If you refuse to budge on your late-work policy, you must publicly proclaim in class that you never asked for extensions on reviews, referee reports, revisions, or anything of the like during the pandemic. #highereducation #academictwitter chronicle.com/article/10-cou…

Remote/blended instruction has forced an unprecedented review of teaching and learning practices. The result: increased awareness of what works and what doesn’t and a renewed interest in what learning looks like. #teacher #teachertwitter #classroom edutopia.org/article/how-hel…
While grades may be a measure of student learning, they are not a predictor of human potential. ⁣#education #academictwitter #teachertwitter

Hope is a learnable, measurable skill that has a sizable impact on students’ success and persistence in #school. Hopeful children have higher self-esteem, better social skills, and can more easily bounce back from adversity. @edutopia #learning #education edutopia.org/article/schools…

How can I be a credible advocate for lifelong #learning if I am not a learner myself? I work hard to model the behavior I seek to instill in my #students. 💯 How are you working to improve? What #class are you taking to enhance your skills? #teachertwitter #academictwitter

I just started reading Small Teaching by @LangOnCourse and starting a few classes with @coursera on 1 September.

I have not taught in a classroom in over a year. However, even with vaccines, education will never be the same. ⁣ ⁣ It will be better. ⁣ Less about degrees and more about learning how to think. Less about jobs and more about staying employable for life. #education #highered

Less emphasis on rote memorization and more emphasis on learning how to learn. Less attention on grades and more attention on competencies. ⁣
