Excited to learn more about PearDeck in session 2 at #WoCoTechSummit #EDLD510S21

Super excited about attending #Wocotechsummit this morning! Just ended session #1 and gained some awesome tools to incorporate into the classroom! #EDLD510S21

Seeing how i can use gifs in my classroom too!

You may have crafted an eloquent philosophy of education. You may have developed a killer resume. But what I’m much more interested in... is how you treat the students who might seem unlovable... and how you respond to your colleague who needs assistance.

Last year, state assessments were cancelled. Number of times our teachers have wished they had that data to help inform their instruction this year: 0 Do with that information what you will.

Bombed a lesson hard today, prompting this exchange: Me: “Are you getting this at all?” Students: “Not really.” Me: “Ok, my bad.” Student: “It’s ok Mr. Carter. We can tell you’re trying really hard.” Relationships matter. Relationships allow you to try again tomorrow.

Don’t be that White teacher in shock when another Black life is taken away, yet completely oblivious to how you might be killing the spirit of the Black children in your classroom.

As we begin #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we want to thank every educator who—in the midst of an overwhelming year—continues to advocate for students, for themselves and for justice. Appreciation isn't enough. You deserve systemic support. We will demand it, this week and always.

Teachers are an extraordinary force for good in our nation — I’m lucky enough to be married to one and have seen firsthand how hard they work for their students. This year teachers have gone above and beyond to help children learn through the pandemic. So please, thank a teacher.

Anyone else in education struggling to stay awake past 7 these days?

A0 I’m Danielle! A mentor in my life would actually be my Mommom! She has been so supportive and my sounding board for decision making! She also has two sons in administration and my Poppop was an administrator in his career! #EDLD517EdChat

Teaching gives me life, but being a teacher is sucking the life out of me.

Let's not forget that when kids show up late to school - they still showed up. Thank them, not scold them.

Loving these helpful tips from Kristin Wiens!

Just finished my reflection for #EDLD517 and had to grab a tissue for the tears. I truly appreciate how much I have learned and grown in my class.
