Twice a year—at the beginning of a semester or of a new school year—I always like to share the “the six ‘Fs’ of a great classroom manager.” Whether you’re already back in class with your students or preparing for the new year, it’s the perfect time to remember the 6 “Fs”! #edchat

How do you make new vocabulary come alive for your Ss? T @JillWebs invites Ss to dig in to their creative and competitive sides by hosting this "Vocab Throwdown!" (Download her game template here: docs.google.com/presentation… – idea via educator @Coach_Stephans!) #ELAchat #LitChat
Digital graphic titled "Vocab Throwdown!" There are two sides, one for "Team 1" and the other for "Team 2." In each half of the graphic, students have to find a "GIF example of the word," a "meme" example of the word, 3 synonyms, an "image example" of the word, historic and modern examples of the word, 3 antonyms and its use in a sentence. The word highlighted in the middle of the graphic is "Revolution."

Outstanding learning is built on… 1. Strong relationships (be warm) 2. High expectations (be demanding) 3. Great experiences (engage and empower)

Patient (adj.): able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Patience is easy to preach, but hard to implement. Remember to have patience with your students, w/ the process, and most of all, w/ yourself. #edchat

Be patient and show grace. Everyone is going through something. And depending on where someone is in that ‘something,’ your patience and grace could make all the difference.

Having low expectations for students is a disservice, not love. High, consistent expectations with appropriate supports takes time, energy, and boundless love. Don't confuse low expectations with supporting students. Set the bar high, but help them learn to carry the load.

We had a great time hosting the @MizzouAdmission reps at @cafnr! They enjoyed lunch with items from @MizzouMeatLab & Buck’s ice cream. Professors showed them the CAFNR Experience with hands-on learning & undergrad research opportunities. Thanks to all the reps for visiting CAFNR!
