Thank you for being a joy-bringer, tWitch. Sometimes, joy-bringers carry unseen heavy burdens. 🖤

Dear Teacher, Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you. You did that. No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you). Let that be the lift you need tomorrow. Sincerely, Not-So-Secret Admirer

Here it is. Inclusive assessment in a visual! #averagingisnonsense

When I say “Build relationships” with your students, I’m saying “Just be a decent human-being to kids.” It’s not an add-on or something more to do. It’s treating kids like they’re human.

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

This! 🙌

Educators can take a note from this exchange. This brother is schooling the reporter. We have to reframe failure as learning opportunity. What did we do or not do. We need to help Ss use errors as information and learn to "fail fast". Thanks Sharif El-Mekki for sharing this.

Applies to every environment, especially a classroom.. Kids need to feel safe to disagree and we need to teach them how to do it.

I haven't seen a year-end tweet explicitly thanking EAs, ECEs and all the support staff who helped us all survive (and thrive) this year, so let's do that! 👍 Please retweet to show ❤️ #OntEd
