Every teacher is a language teacher. Love the morpheme posters shared here by Emily. Morphology and etymology should be weaved into every age and stage of schooling. Makes for fascinating detective work.

Got some of these up in our STEAMroom today. Thx @fabdisalvo for a great science resource. The kids who saw them were fascinated. #edchat #primarystemchat fabiodisalvo.com/2022/05/22/…

It's not just engagement that declines as students progress through schooling. Add creativity, enthusiasm, and asking questions to the list. @HumResPro #edchat bradlatzke.com/do-schools-re…

Okay, (A) the way this is laid out is just *chef's kiss,* and (B) I like this progression as a way to help students think about different ways to engage in discussions.

3 questions that drive employee happiness: 1. In the last 7 days, have I received recognition or praise (from anyone) for doing good work? 2. Does someone at work care about me as a person? 3. Is there someone at work who encourages my development? —Buckingham #leadersread

In college, the best writing class I has insisted on like a 280 word limit or something insane. The professor literally graded the paper next to us in one on one meetings

Why do we start the teaching of writing with paragraphs? Paragraphs really only exist within a larger piece is writing. Shouldn’t we start with helping students develop ideas and then teach how to create paragraphs within their ideas? I do not think in paragraphs—do other people?

I've given a survey to now thousands of kids in multiple districts that have asked me to work with them around assessment and grading. Here are the questions: 1. Do grades help you learn? 2. How do grades make you feel? 3. Why do teachers give grades? A thread... 1/

I'm often asked: what is the best way to teach vocabulary? Here, Jeff McQuillan offers the best answer I've heard. This was worth 45 minutes of my time youtu.be/vUqJuCYoyQQ via @YouTube

One of the biggest issues is how to design learning that meets the needs of students and accomplishes the learning outcomes for kids who are never together in the same classroom because of hybrid.

I’m hearing from many parents about how teachers are performing heroically in difficult and scary times to provide comfort, humor, empathy, and instruction. Teachers are always superheroes. Now they seem to have even another gear of awesomeness. They are the best of #WhatUnitesUs

I don't know who came up with this idea of teaching two cohorts of kids (some in person, socially distanced, some online) simultaneously but it's wrong. It's two jobs. It's not good for kids, and it's not good for teachers.

I have been a teacher for over two decades. I have never felt this uncertain, stressed, and tired. I am teaching in-person and online - 12 hour days, routinely in classes I have taught for years. I wake up every day and think about quitting. - an anonymous teacher
