Every teacher is a language teacher.
Love the morpheme posters shared here by Emily. Morphology and etymology should be weaved into every age and stage of schooling. Makes for fascinating detective work.
Got some of these up in our STEAMroom today. Thx @fabdisalvo for a great science resource. The kids who saw them were fascinated. #edchat #primarystemchat fabiodisalvo.com/2022/05/22/…

It's not just engagement that declines as students progress through schooling. Add creativity, enthusiasm, and asking questions to the list. @HumResPro #edchat

Okay, (A) the way this is laid out is just *chef's kiss,* and (B) I like this progression as a way to help students think about different ways to engage in discussions.

"As a teacher years later, I thought, 'I want to create a classroom that would have engaged the 16-year-old me.' This thought led me to the next step in my journey." @AaronSBlackwel1 #tg2chat ctt.ec/v7Sdl+

An important question to ask as we embark on a new year & search for ways to make this work more sustainable.

3 questions that drive employee happiness:
1. In the last 7 days, have I received recognition or praise (from anyone) for doing good work?
2. Does someone at work care about me as a person?
3. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?

In college, the best writing class I has insisted on like a 280 word limit or something insane. The professor literally graded the paper next to us in one on one meetings

Why do we start the teaching of writing with paragraphs? Paragraphs really only exist within a larger piece is writing. Shouldn’t we start with helping students develop ideas and then teach how to create paragraphs within their ideas? I do not think in paragraphs—do other people?
“But when we trust and train students…, student self-assessment is actually one of the most empowering things we can do as a teacher.” Yes, it is! Learning is a lifelong journey. Let’s provide opportunities for students to practice these skills!
