Reposting my husband’s thread because it’s also applicable advice to the education world!
I'm an obsessive note-taker. Every year I have hundreds of pages of ideas scribbled in my notebooks. At the end of the year, I go through them and summarize my key takeaways. 14 lessons learned in 2022:

Bilingual Pre-k had their parents come up after school for a meeting on how to support their child’s learning. The teachers walked them through how to practice skills in fun, engaging ways at home! What a great way to engage with the community! @EhrhardtKISD @KleinISD_EC

My pre-K team divided up 2nd Q math stations between shapes, patterning, subitizing, & number sense and each teacher planned 4 stations in their area, including materials needed for each station. @EhrhardtKISD @KleinISD_EC

They then presented their stations to their team at PLC so everyone could see the objectives and how each station worked. Each teacher walked away with 16 intentionally planned stations. Sharing so that others can #worksmarternotharder and utilize team collaboration!

2nd grade applied their learning from their Economics Unit with a Market Day! Each 2nd grader created their own product to “sell” to other 2nd graders. They earned eagle bucks in class that were then used to purchase what they wanted to buy on Market Day! @EhrhardtKISD #gameon

Our students LOVED it! They had so much fun designing and creating their good/service, determining a price, creating a business plan, buying other goods/services, and directly applying their learning in a hands-on, memorable way! @KleinSocStudies

This @EhrhardtKISD 1st grade teacher is having her students take ownership of meeting their Lexia goals by monitoring and tracking their unit progress each day! This hangs by the computers so students can check before logging on! #GameOnEhrhardt @lexiareading @jujubean_brand

Support our teachers! 👏🏼My husband did a great job of breaking it down on the thread below 👇🏼
We’ve got a crisis in teaching & education. A new study found that almost 50% of 1st-year teachers quit. You might see battles in education over CRT, books, etc. That’s a distraction What you should be really scared of is our teacher crisis. Our future depends on fixing it:

I love how one of our fabulous 1st grade teachers runs through her sound wall with her students to start their day. These students are getting exposed to ALL the phonograms each day, along with learning how to use the sound wall as a resource! 🤯 @EhrhardtKISD #gameon
