I’m a professional, guys. Treat me with the respect a historian and a teacher deserves.

@natabasso How are we as a society going to support students who suffered acutely from pandemic educational distance that are now expected to function as independently capable adults in college and in careers? Their protected "incubation" time with us K-12 is over.

What is the most important conversation we need to have in education post-pandemic?

Surest sign of middle age yet: The first Valentine I received this year was from my mortgage company. #ValentinesDay2022

@tonyvincent I should have remembered it’s for district emails only.

@tonyvincent What a terrible experience.

👨‍💻 I'm collecting Google Sites made by teachers and students. If you have a good public one to share, please reply with the URL. Many thanks!

#ParkEdTech I always make sure to include visuals in my presentations but had no idea it led to such an uptick in viewer retention. Definitely going to lean on that more! elearninginfographics.com/engaging-the-a…

The minimum goal of every professional development is that teachers need to be more excited about teaching tomorrow than they were today. The best way to accomplish this is to make sure it offers something of immediate value. #MEMSPAchat

@hilarym99 No, KC

Educators, I’m curious: did your districts put air purifiers in classrooms? And where are you located?

We're in a waxing crescent moon phase and you know what that means... If you're concerned about something as trivial as that, you don't have many big problems in your life. Congrats.

@flyingmonkey13 🙌🏻🍻

How do you know you’ve found the right place to work? I’m quarantined. Some colleagues dropped off a bevy of libations. And sound cancelling headphones. When you know, you know.

Where I live, more is more when it comes to Christmas decorations.

A3: In World History, perhaps investigating the origin of their chosen holiday? Name etymology, date, special practices, etc. Finding a sharing most surprising facts could be fun. #LearnLAP

@Stella_Pollard Reflection FTW

A1: when I was in the classroom, I always loved to end the semester with stations to review what we had done so far as a review. Hands-on, STEM, reading, a healthy blend of NGSS. #LearnLAP

@daleyscience Love it!

@ms_demattos Welcome!

Hi! I'm Madison DeMattos. I am a student teacher in North Carolina! #Learnlap

A2: Fine. It’ll have to be pretty darn compelling and engaging. It’ll need to leave a sweet taste in the mouth and making returning something to look forward to. #LearnLAP

A1: Reflect on the learning we’ve experienced and appreciate how far we’ve come. Spend as much time as possible reminiscing. Rose colored glasses can be useful at times. #LearnLAP

Giving kids numbers without feedback tells them that grades are more important than learning. We need to fix this.

Our students’ mental health is way more important than their grades.
