A1. Jess Loux, English DC for grades 8-12. The importance of building relationships with our students and reading their body language-sometimes a “yuck” face can tell us more more about them! #Ebedchat

A2. Sharing personal stories to help students relate to us. I also think it’s important to help students understand the grades they receive in the class is not an indication of a teacher’s opinion about them. #EBedchat

A6. For us to always remember it is not about class size, access to technology, or curricular resources rather the single most important factor that impacts a child’s experience at school is her or her teacher! Thanks Elizabeth Kaplan for an awesome #EBedchat

When I thought I was already feeling so lucky as a teacher, Lois Lowry also responded! Now my Honors students have a chance to ask an author their questions too. I cannot wait to tell them! East Brunswick English Department

Ever wonder when and why kids lose the desire to read for pleasure? Here are some great ideas on how to reinvigorate that passion and love for books! #cjhs and #ebhs teachers, what else can we do to promote and encourage our students to read for fun? x.com/multcult07/sta…

Finally getting to join the chat! I use google forms to poll the English dept to get feedback on assessments and curricular changes. This will help inform our summer PD work #EBedchat x.com/msspinato/stat…

A3. This year in our department meetings some teachers shared a best tech practice with their colleagues. These includes things like Padlet, Adobe Spark, FlipGrid and Piktocharts which definitely influenced others to try them out #EBedchat x.com/msspinato/stat…
