Hack: This dollhouse at the Daly House Museum depicts an upper-class,white household. Notice that the man is sitting, while the two women are on their feet. I would strengthen the exhibit by adding a disclaimer which acknowledges the man's privilage. #ssteaching #museumhack

Cult of Pedagogy Ep.168: Colin Seale advises teachers to use the "mistake analysis" strategy. Always use mistakes as a learning tool. If a student answers a question incorrectly, ask them, "Why is that answer incorrect?" and "How can we approach this differently?" Dr. Devon Caldwell

Cult of Pedagogy Ep.168: Colin Seale shared his thoughts on incorrect answers. "You can't just take an answer that seems really wild and presume that kids are coming out of left field with it." Understand a student's reasoning behind each answer, even if it is wrong. Dr. Devon Caldwell

In the middle of a stressful school day, it's good to get a drink of water, step outside for a minute, and take some deep breaths. Practice self-compassion whenever the opportunity presents itself. #MBEdChat

We are often our worst critics, but it is important to practice positive self-image. Our opinions of ourselves are reflective in our habits, whether they are beneficial or harmful. #MBEdChat

I do this when I can't sleep: I listen to the most peaceful music imaginable. Usually, I go for jazz ballads, preferably by Lester Young or Billie Holiday! #MBEdChat

Lisa Baylis Faith Colobong (she/her) This is so true! I model this with my students. I tell them you what I am having a bad day. Something happened that upset but it is okay to feel how I feel. I tell them how I will work through it. I have some smart grade 4s who always help each other when struggling. #mbedchat

Educators need to be caring for their students, but it is also important to care for yourself! Don't be afraid to have a light class conversation or take a short break. #MBEdChat

Attention: educators! The Nature Conservancy has a series of virtual field trips on their website: nature.org/en-us/about-us… This is a great resource for educators, as field trips typically come with great expense, and are difficult to organize during the pandemic. #ICT362
