Supporting a teacher sometimes means organizing & making one of their stressors go away before you can dig into other stuff. This #Fundations kit is sorted, numbered & organized! 🪄🪄 (did this for 3 teachers). Small parts organizer is from Menards #edchat #instructionalcoach

Glue guns are back out for our newest BirdBrain Technologies #HummingbirdKit projects. Found this tray in our #makerspace stuff - excellent holder for our #glueguns during use. Way better than the paper they sat on before. Score! #teachertwitter #edchat

Yes, the educators are struggling, tired, and deserving of all the support. But, man, the secretaries, nurses, and custodians are overwrought, too.

If you #edchat or are part of #teachertwitter you have got to check out IDEA ! Some of my best training & learning experiences are from #IDEAil Follow them ASAP and check out #IDEAcon coming up sooooooon!!

Posting for accountability. My #oneword is LISTEN. Goal is to interrupt less and listen more. I’m doing ok with more active listening…but not great on the “interrupt less” part. I get too into the conversation and have a hard time holding back. Work in progress. #teachertwitter

Hey PLC! #edchat #teachertwitter #instructionalcoach In need of ideas for a non-digital system in which students silently let their teacher know their work has reached a check point & they're ready for feedback. I imagine post-its with names on a laminated chart...but what else?

Any more ideas?? Need a non-digital system in for students to let their teacher know their work has reached a checkpoint & they're ready for feedback. Post-its with names on a chart, colored flip charts at desks, what else? #edchat #teachertwitter #edutwitter #iledchat

I LOVE using SlidesMania 💛 for ALL. THE. THINGS! It's absolutely my go-to when creating something for a teacher that we collaborated on. Now I know how to edit the master template...watch out! #Daily5 #WordWork #TeacherTwitter #EduTwitter #InstructionalCoach #HowCanIHelp

Are there any research-based reading programs out there with a similar style or format to the #LiteracyFootprints Interactive Read Alouds? #edutwitter #teachertwitter #instructionalcoach #curriculum #k5 #edchat #edhelp #iteach #educational

I’m on Spring Break but this still applies - the laundry won’t get done if I don’t pick up the basket. The stairs won’t stain themselves. I can’t drink Starbucks if I don’t place the order. The kids don’t get in the bath if I don’t start the water. #justgetstarted #takeastep

Using the Common Core Companion books during our #SBG process has allowed for some deep conversation and reflection about the #CCSS and it includes some great suggestions for assessment. We have the Math & ELA books for K-2 & 3-5. #edchat #teachertwitter tinyurl.com/3uzw73rf

My favorite brainchild of the day: visual prompt labels for #WorkOnWriting ✏️ as part of #Daily5 Emojis make these prompts way more visually appealing to kiddos! 💃 👍 👏 #instructionalcoach #edutwitter #edchat

Hey Target - my 8 year old’s after-school drawing isn’t wrong 🎯 🛍 🛒 🏃🏼‍♀️ I love the “a good trip” note - she knows the difference between a quick trip and a good trip 😂😂 #targetmom #targetteacher TargetTeachers #somanybags

I was curious what the end of the year would bring as an #instructionalcoach but it’s been all about reflecting and looking forward. This teacher wanted to revamp her #smallgroup #Daily5 planning & organizing for next year; she is testing it out this week! #edchat #edutwitter

Spent the better part of this week w/ Golden Apple SI3 at Monmouth College The future of education is BRIGHT! I’m so thankful to get to know this Reflective group of Scholars, I can’t say enough about my experience with them this week & wish we had more time in person together🍎

I love that our school sends home the #SupplyList with the end of the year report cards! I use #GoogleKeep to keep track of their lists as I slowly purchase items throughout the summer so come August I’m not stressed about that. Lists are shared with my husband too! #ParentHack

Hey Google Calendar #GoogleCalendar users - if I wanted to print out a daily schedule like in this image, is there a way to print JUST certain hours, like 8-3 and keep this format? Want to do away with what is in red and hopefully give more room to time slots when printed.
