Love the idea of Glow and Grow. Recently mentioned on @TeacherTakeaway too! #feedback
Here's an MCP #TeacherHack for a feedback protocol called 'Glow and Grow.'
Learners provide:
⭐ 1 glow - something they did well
🌱 1 grow - something that they could improve on
For more Teacher Hacks, join our Facebook group: ow.ly/Cfhv50NGSbr.

Yesterday I asked my kindergartener what she did in school and she said "nothing," then later I went on Instagram and her teacher had posted a picture of her holding a crocodile.

Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

"If we as a collective group of educators already know what works to motivate students, why are so many students still unmotivated?"

A1: Nothing is happening at our school this year. Due to scheduling, we have Bookweek this week,as well as Athletics Day...so 🤷🏻♀️. I feel that Science isn’t as much of a focus as it should be...#PrimarySTEMchat
Question 1:
“Wisdom begins in wonder” (Socrates)
It’s #NationalScienceWeek. Are you or your school doing anything special to celebrate? If so, what? If not, why not? What is the value in ‘one-off’ science activities? #PrimarySTEMChat @rachaellehr @claireseldon_ed
Today's task - watch the #BTN episode, answer the discussion questions and assign a #globalgoal for each story. Fantastic way to apply their knowledge and look for elements of each goal in real-life stories. #SDGs @BehindTheNews @TheGlobalGoals
Daycare lady is sick = carers leave tomorrow = easy lessons needed = worksheets 😭 and bluebots 🤩
