The deeper you can build meaningful understandings in your students. The more connections and transfers they can make to new knowledge encounters.

Working with 2 graders, I realized you do not need a device management software for them. They are walking surveillance units. Put one or two of them on duty and you will know what everyone is doing on their devices in real time 🤣

I AM OFFICIALLY an ISTE Certified Educator! This process has allowed me reflect on my current practice and build competencies to share with my educational community. I am excited to join this community of almost 2K educators worldwide. #ISTECert @isteofficial @atilamrac

As a former XC coach, I recognized that schools with hills to train on did better overall... because hills make you faster and stronger. So, in life, if you're given hills, be thankful... because you will be transformed after you get to the top.

With new tech apps or new education initiatives....you may not need the new thing that is only good for one thing...if you are creative and look around, you might find you already have what you need... without spending additional money...

Trying to juggle too many tasks at once is like attempting to carry a stack of delicate china without a tray. It might seem manageable for a short while, the moment your attention wavers or your grip falters, everything can come crashing down, leaving you with broken pieces.

Veteran teachers have many years of invaluable classroom experience that can empower them as teacher leaders. Their wisdom guides new teachers and strengthens schools. Honor veteran teachers by encouraging their leadership.

Teachers don't just impart knowledge, they shape lives. Their patience, passion and creativity unlock each child's potential. An inspiring teacher can instill a lifelong love of learning. Support our teachers so they can fully support every student. #SupportTeachers

This is something that is not explicitly taught but should be. It is, unfortunately, a major factor, not intelligence, in determining success.

I am convinced the single most important factor to improve culture, retention, work-life balance, teaching, learning, & the education experience is TIME. Time to collaborate, complete paperwork, attend meetings & meet w/ Ss in a different setting. ALL within the school day.

As a teacher you help students gain confidence and take learning risks. You help them be leaders, and strengthen their voices from whispers. Your support unlocks potential. With patience and belief in their abilities, you empower students to recognize the power in themselves.

Just discovered @AnthropicAI's Claude! This is a great alternative to chatgpt. If you are a teacher...work smarter not harder and use this tool to construct rubrics, lessons, fun learning activities etc. #edtech

Showing a short clip to students this year? Why not try @edpuzzle Live Mode to embed questions throughout the lesson. Benefits: keep everyone together, keep them engaged, pause to teach, ✔️4 understanding, clear up misconceptions,formative, and gather data.

Love these spaces for creativity...what if this was every classroom? Would students learn?

Collaboration for the win!
