As education leaders plan for multiple options at a district level, they could be tapping into teachers’ knowledge and experiences to generate ideas that “lead to actual positive outcomes for education rather than simply mitigating harm.” @KaraNewhouse ow.ly/kMpe50ACvBN

Dear Governor Reynolds - Should your decision on opening schools in Iowa hold, please be prepared to take 100% accountability for the sickness, death and political fallout that is going to undoubtably occur. Our beloved teachers are about to become front-line workers.

"An unfortunate side effect is that PBIS can create a system where many students do what they would normally do, but are now expecting a reward and recognition."

A bad five minutes is just that—a bad five minutes. It’s not a bad day unless you choose to make it a reason to have a bad day.

- Instead of “Calm down.” Try “Breathe. I’m here to help.”- We love these helpful ideas of how to rethink our use of words to help us adults empathize, relate, & reach kids whether in or outside of the classroom. #ThinkKids #CPSapproach #SEL #KindnessMatters via @WeAreTeachers
Our words really can impact our students' success. 💚 #SEL #KindnessMatters

"When I breathe, it makes my body calm," says kindergartner Ricky. abc7ne.ws/2Fk1tMk Watch students with Andrew Nance, in our Mindful Schools community, who never underestimates the power of breathing, especially when it comes to kinders! #mindfulschools #mindfulartssf

They asked me what I’d tell pre-service teachers. My answer: get your swag up. Recognize In these crazy times people are stuck in cubicles and offices for 8 hours - but you get a chance to plug into a mission. Every day. So take up space. You are damn lucky to matter so much.

You determined this from your closed door meeting with six or seven people who are completely not representative of our population? If you had the courage to meet in a public setting you would have found quite the opposite Ms DeVos. You are a coward and you are wrong.
It’s clear from today’s roundtable with @IAGovernor, families across Iowa are embracing #EducationFreedom and want more of it. Thank you for a robust discussion on how Education Freedom Scholarships could empower even more students in Iowa to find the right education for them.

It is through mistakes that knowledge will grow. Teachers do not need to be the all knowing expert. It is better to model being a curious inquirer. Someone who seeks to play with knowledge, learn with students & model being OK making mistakes & learning from them. #LimitlessMind – at Stanford, CA

When our teaching falls flat and doesn’t feel ‘sticky’ it might be because we’re telling kids WHAT to do, not HOW to do it nor WHY to do it. When we say, “Readers notice the way the author organizes the text,” we don’t want our kids to say, “That’s great and all but how?” #tcrwp

Try...
-Playing w/kids at recess & asking, “How can I help?”
