Could not agree more! Early in my 30 yr career we were told we had to give homework. I worked hard to keep mandatory time at minimum. Kids need to play, explore, create, read... They need to keep their magic psmccandless.com – at Fort Hunt, VA

Faced with increasing demands to cover as much material as possible, teachers often forego #teaching students to reflect on their work. However, without #reflection, it is impossible for actual “#learning” to occur. Here's why: bit.ly/Reflection-For-Learni… via @edunators

I tried a variety of different methods to teach 9/11. Most effective tool I ever used was TV archive from that day (linked). I recommend the "summary of news coverage" as it shows it from a variety of national & international news sources. bit.ly/2oXWusQ #sschat #sstlap

The events of 9/11 have a clear & obvious impact on modern politics, security, foreign affairs & beyond. Yet, young people will be voting in the next election, & the last one, who were infants or pre-schoolers in 2001. It's a "hole" in our history instruction that needs filled.

For 10+ years I spent this day talking to kids about the events of September 11th. Few, if any, academic courses in schools cover these events. Even advanced history courses struggle to get that close to the present, given the requirements of schools/states.

Please don't speak poorly of our profession in front of students. I wanted to become a teacher because a passionate teacher & coach routinely yelled "I LOVE MY JOB!!!" & acted accordingly. I don't remember all of his methods, or even his content, but I remember his passion.

As a teacher, my 1st question in planning a lesson isn't "What tech/app should I use?" My 1st question is "What do I want my students to walk out of my class knowing today?". Somedays a computer advances me to that goal, and other days it's paper and pencil.

Ever hear the phrase "culture eats structure for breakfast" ? I've seen it happen...schedule changes, grading reform & RTI/Intervention times all come to mind. Anyone else? #moedchat #atplc #LeadLap Image courtesy excellentcultures.com

There is a great parlor where academic arguments have been going on from the beginning of time. We need students to realize their goal is to listen to the conversation for awhile before chiming in themselves. -Joseph Harris
