THANK YOU @getwritable! We have been using this in the classroom regularly this semester. Students are collaborating in person AND via peer reviews on Writable. I love finding the new ways I can use it. #wearerennell @rennellredhawks

Memorization is not in the top ten skills needed in 2020. If school is about preparing students for the future, we need to shift our focus. #futureready #teachergoals

Loved stopping by @ShepTheTeach ‘s class today during #WatchandLearn to see students at future ready studios playing a version of war where they take 2 cards and multiply before giving the cards to the person with the highest product! @dsdPD #WeAreRennell

5 Ways to be More Positive: 1. Count your blessings. You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time. 2. See your challenges as opportunities for growth. 3. Don’t listen to your negative thoughts. 4. Feed yourself with positive encouragement. 5. Choose faith instead of fear.

A student bombs a test. Teacher #1 responds: "What did you think was going to happen when you sleep in class and don't study?" Teacher #2 responds: "You can do so much better! I believe in you!" The way we interact with students matters. Our words matter.

This weekend I spoke to MANY teachers who said their principal never comes into their classrooms. Lord, what the flip are you doing all week that you can’t get into classrooms in your building on a regular basis? You’re giving the rest of us a bad name. I’m surious. #doyourjob

I’ve had SO MANY downloads of these Skyscraper puzzle templates over the last 2 weeks! Must be an attempt to build community and see math as more than just ‘number crunching’ Here they are if interested: buildingmathematicians.wordp… #mtbos #iteachmath

When someone has the courage to give you constructive criticism, the worst way to defend yourself is to get defensive. The only way to prove good intent is to demonstrate it. Thank them for the feedback and ask for concrete advice on how to improve. #WednesdayWisdom

When you go through adversity you find out who your real friends are. You find out who is just along for the ride and who’s willing to push the bus with you when it breaks down.

#ThoughtForTheDay If we want students to feel significant, then we must focus on building a significant relationship. Are students walking out of class/school feeling better than they did before they walked in? Every Student. Every Day. Whatever It Takes. #Culturize

Our goal is to make an impact on students. You might not be able to see the difference you’re making, but if you are caring about your kids and are committed to doing right by them... you ARE making an impact. You ARE making a difference. And they will remember you.
