Extreme focus is the new high IQ

This is for my 9th grade world history class & is separate from how I teach Black Panther in sociology.

I think one of the biggest mistakes we are making in education today is defining learning as a list of things to be “mastered” rather than a collection of capacities that are continually growing and developing.

Students were tasked to create a WWII magazine featuring one of the groups or people they learned about. Submissions are starting to come in and… 😍

I’ve worked with some incredible teachers who got fantastic output from students and worked the least hours they could manage whilst getting the job done. Rarely seen in building after school. Left meetings on dot. Refused extra ‘opportunities’. And were GREAT. Kids loved em.

I am LOVING another year learning & sharing with my favorite co-teacher. #AHIMobile23

A fun real-world scenario in World History! Students used their critical thinking skills to analyze evidence in a “school discipline scenario”. They determined fact from fiction and considered various perspectives! #bartonexplorers Melissa Motes

This but with movies/shows - I’ve started with superhero narratives but want to branch out too!

Teachers who have built classes or larger concepts (not just individual lessons), how do you go about sharing them? I really want to start sharing how I teach Psych & Sociology with superhero films (with a analytical writing focus). I’ve toyed around with Patreon, but IDK.

I need someone to tell Tom Hiddleston that his new movie is going to be filmed down the street from THE SCHOOL WHERE I TEACH SUPERHERO PSYCH. Like, if Loki could pop in to say hi one day, I’d be eternally grateful 🐊💚

I love sports! Another cool post to add to my sports psychology ideas.

This makes so much sense. During my graduate degree I was able to look up so much evidence based teaching & historical info. Game changer for educators to have this access.

My kind of assignment! Always for adding a personal connection to the content when able.

I ask completely random questions throughout my lectures to get them ready for college. Doing notes on language in AP Psych & I asked if they could communicate effectively through only emojis & then asked them to try to trace back slang etymology

I’ve been busy with a lot of amazing professional experiences, but back to sharing!
