My students also “speed dated” books today as they created “What I might read next” lists.

Surveyed my new seniors. 72% of them cannot identify a single author they like. Two-thirds of them “never” read in their spare time. Never. I know there are many factors behind this, but I can’t help wonder what role schools have played in killing the ❤️ of reading.

After 4 hours of hard work, I have created a virtual replica of book speed dating. :) @pennykittle, I hope you would be proud. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

I love this for an end of the semester assignment. Self-reflection is a powerful tool. Rachel Kuhr

I've started the practice of having my students write down why they are a valuable asset to a group before I send them into breakout rooms. Frankly, I don't care if it helps them collaborate in breakout rooms. I just am happy if it helps them remind themselves of their value.

Our words matter. Replace your "have to..." with "get to..." Adjust your mindset. #growthmindset #leadupchat #edchat #ncadmin #nced

Students must not sit there and passively consume information for the whole lesson. They will forget most of it--guaranteed.

What will help me more as a coach/teacher- looking @ Carson Wentz data points or watching all of his game film? What does that mean for EDU?

How cool is Daveed Diggs, btw? He plays Mr Browne (to perfection!) in Wonder. #choosekind #WonderTheMovie
