Developing software is crazy... 1. You write code to solve a problem 2. You write code to test your code that solves the problem 3. You write code to deploy your code 4. You write code to test that your deployment works 5. You write code to monitor your solution ...

Teacher tired isn't just about all the decisions made each day or trying to engage and teach a classroom full of students, which is a lot, but it is also the energy, love, & care that they put into helping all those students become their best self. Thank You Teachers!

Curious about the value of blended learning? Wish you knew how to design a blended lesson? The Why, How, and What of Blended Learning catlintucker.com/2020/12/why… #blendedlearning #edchat #edutwitter #adminchat #TOSAchat #edtech
The most important factor for student success in school is the classroom teacher. So, when we hear to do what's best for the kids, that actually means to value, support, and appreciate teachers. Morale greatly impacts teaching/ learning.

It's sad that educators can't look their students in the eye and tell them that they are safe at school.

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.

Bring back play in schools. Ages 0-infinity. Messy, unstructured, self-directed play.

A reminder that every time someone uses "guys" to address a group, there are many people that are not included. There's plenty of respectful options from @sylviaduckworth. I'm guilty of it, too. Retrain your brain, be better

Teachers, help students be their best. 1) build intentional relationships 2) focus on high expectations 3) help develop their talents ( i.e worth/success) 4) connect w/their interests 5) challenge students after they experience success 6) support/ encourage them 7) celebrate

To build powerful relationships with all learners: 1. Love your kids more than the subject you teach and/or the grade level you work with. 2. Use feedback and positive reinforcement as the main learning motivator, not grades or marks. 3. Be empathetic.
