Let’s let bilingual students know how valuable their linguistic assets are! That is all. #language #bilinguismo #bilinguismo #bilingüismo

Last Wednesday, Emilie Felicia, MPH, a Public Health Educator at the Upstate New York Poison Center, spoke to Child Development I students about poisonings. She discussed look-alike products, strategies for preventing poisonings, and how to respond in the event of a poisoning.

@JamesMelville This is what FACS teachers do at the middle and high school levels.☺️

Basic practical life skills as part of the school curriculum. Do you agree?

@jnicolem @j0ker937 We live in a fallen world! How about go over and offer assistance so momma can get some rest! We need Jesus to return!

You’re exhausted, up all night with your newborn who won’t settle. Your neighbor comes to ask you to keep your baby quiet and goes on to say that it has been 5 days, the baby should be on a routine by now and she really needs her sleep. How would you respond to her selfishness?

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s. So, what happened? Screens. Dr. Jared Horvath explained: “Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.” “So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).” “If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.” But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

@educator4ever36 Very true!

The teacher working like crazy all day and on weekends is getting the same pay as the teacher who sits all day behind his desk and has his students on their Chromebooks.

El New York Times recupera evidencias sobre aprendizaje: leer en papel mejora la comprensión, y tomar apuntes a mano aumenta la probabilidad de sacar sobresaliente hasta un 58%. No es nostalgia: es neurociencia aplicada al aula. Menos pantalla ≠ más aprendizaje nytimes.com/2025/11/16/opi…

We are raising mentally weak children A big reason for this is parents do too much for them Parents cook, clean, get them dressed, tidy their messes etc.. This not only prevents kids from learning these basic life skills It also prevents kids from learning to believe in their abilities When kids are given responsibilities & learn to do basic talks, it builds self esteem And this is an important part of raising mentally strong kids

As with the other guest speakers I have had in ECE, this is information every teacher should have access to.

Dr. Meredith Devennie, Math Instructional Coach, visited our Early Childhood Education students over two days to speak with them about discourse and other strategies that can be used during math instruction. It was an amazing experience, and we learned so much!

@DanWuori @Cori__P I was just thinking this thought! I wish I had all of your tweets in a book. You always share valuable information. As a high school teacher who instructs courses in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, I have come to truly appreciate your work. Thank you.

@Cori__P Working on a whole book full of them!

Some of you have noticed that I’ve been a little less present here of late. It’s for the best of reasons: I’m deep into writing my next book - and with a submission deadline approaching I’m spending a ton of energy there. Rest assured, I’ll be back to daily posting soon.

@DanWuori I am so excited about this for you and everyone who will get an opportunity to read it! ⭐️

After the lesson, students discussed effective strategies they could use as future educators to support multilingual learners. They learned ways to help MLs succeed and talked about what educators can do to help MLs feel welcomed and included in the classroom.

This morning, Yeimi Morales taught a lesson on the butterfly life cycle in Spanish. This experience helped her peers better understand the challenges that multilingual learners may face during instruction.

She also took them through a simulation to help them better understand the challenges students may face during literacy instruction.

Hope Everts returned to Room 413 to speak to students in Child Development II about literacy in America, the history of language, and how children learn to speak and read.

Aala, the president of UNICEF Unite, spoke to members about advocacy and why it is important. She also shared ways members can advocate for a cause. #lpoolunicefunite

As a parent, lap reading is a joy. It’s a chance to cuddle your little one, while exposing them to rich vocabulary, concepts of print, and the wonder of books. When it comes to infants, however, lap reading can deprive babies of their favorite (and most important) sight: YOU. Which is why you might want to explore face-to-face reading as well. (With your baby facing toward you and the book simultaneously.) Developmentally, there are multiple benefits to allowing your baby to see you as you read together. Your little one is an expert at “reading” your face. This posture allows your baby to track your eyes to discover what you’re tuning in to. It also allows them to watch your mouth and learn how you’re making the words and sounds that accompany the pictures. This clever little one illustrates the case beautifully, creating a face-to-face experience of her own. Watch as our hero divides her attention between the book (and her important page turning responsibility!) and dad’s face - which she swivels her head to admire with equal (if not greater) interest. Kudos to dad, as well, as he balances book time and face time with his daughter - taking time to honor her interest in connection and observation. The logistics can obviously be a little trickier (consider reading face-to-face as your partner holds baby in their lap as one potential solution) - but the benefits are well worth the effort. Face-to-face reading for the win! This adorable father-daughter duo was shared to IG by mylittlemissameliaa.
