EduCommuter

Welcome to the world of #EduCommuter.

@connollm1 @TCNJ @TCNJSchoolofEd This is truly incredible!!!

Huge thanks to @TCNJ colleagues, families, and friends for making this year's Backpack Project the best yet! We raised over $1,500 and packed over 100 backpacks for distribution through four community partners! So proud and grateful! @TCNJSchoolofEd

This is my car loaded with 108 backpacks! Hoping you will help us fill these and support local Trenton students as they start their school year. #TCNJBackpackProject crowdfunding.tcnj.edu/campaigns/2023…

So grateful for a week in Rome with our fantastic TCNJ student teachers, supportive mentors and administrators, creative spaces, and a super-cute school therapy dog! @TCNJSchoolofEd @TCNJ

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

@edukatesullivan @GSPlayDay Only happening because of amazing educators like you. Imagine writing a thesis on @GSplayDay ? You would have to be crazy to do that. Or you would have to be @edukatesullivan

Another successful GSPD! Thank you to @GSPlayDay for creating this incredible, meaningful experience for our kiddos! #playmatters

@HowieRose @AndrewMarchand Thank you for your strength, spirit and inspiration. I’m in this fight with you. - Mr. Connolly

Thank you ⁦@AndrewMarchand⁩ for telling the story so well and for hitting just the right chord. If I can help someone going through this, I’m happy to do so. nypost.com/2023/02/01/met…

@edukatesullivan Best news I’ve heard on a while. Congrats Kate. Watch out education world….She has arrived!!

That’s a wrap! Officially a NYS certified SBL/SDL! Thankful for my incredible cohort team and the brilliant mentors that have guided me throughout this journey. Excited for what the future holds!

@hockey_samurai Give players removable face masks. They can be removed if a fight breaks out. Current NHL fighting is a joke.

Gary Bettman has come to you for some advice. He's given you the power to change anything about hockey or the NHL - what are you changing?

I know it's dead annoying when authors do this, but I am so delighted people are taking a chance on my Tips for Teachers book. I put everything I have into it, it comes out on 6th Jan, and can be pre-ordered here: amzn.to/3GvV4hR

The 5 E's lesson plan model is effective. Check out this research article files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ128…

1. Does homework have a positive impact on student learning? If not, why do we give it? If yes answer question 2 2.Do ALL students have equal opportunities to engage with homework? Quiet space, time, parent support, access to tech, prerequisite skills etc.

@adelebovard Indeed. Let’s start with real conversations about what learning is - and what it is not.

Words for educators to live by❣️

@podsieorg We rewrote our curriculum map in order to interleave content. This allows us to teach through projects and revisit content throughout the year

A2(#LrnSciChat): As a teacher, I spiraled in older concepts into beginning-of-class warmups to combat forgetting. 1 challenge was knowing which questions to review. I wanted to be data-driven, but there were large amounts of student data to process.

@BurgetMichelle @SarahFuller_27 @USWNT Stretch Goals? How about Stretch NO GOALS. #Rising

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! My daughter just brought this home. 🤦‍♀️

We agree! Join schools from around the world… you pick the date for play #GSPD2021 August 15- Sept 15 Because One Day A Year Isn’t Enough! Especially Now! Register your class for this free grassroots effort focused on the value of play for every child! globalschoolplayday.com

Wondering if we can acknowledge students for their willingness to engage in performance tasks or PBL. We are trying an approach we call EPIC. Students earn badges for Engaging, Persevering, Iterating and Communicating. @jaymctighe @BedleyBros @gcouros @spencerideas

@PearceMrs What a great idea. Thank you!!

Developing a set of ‘An Introduction to...’ guides. 1/2 page summaries of important aspects of T&L, aiming to provide a basic overview/starting point, including: ✅ Cognitive load theory ✅ Cognitive science ✅ Learning myths ✅ Retrieval practice Happy to share if useful

@connollm1 @TCNJ @TCNJSchoolofEd Awesome stuff. What are “check-ins?” They sound like great retrieval activities.

Another great example of our awesome teacher candidates! Check out Secondary Physics Major, Daniela Guardascione's Bitmoji classroom with interactive options for check-ins and scientist of the week! @TCNJ @TCNJSchoolofEd

@GSPlayDay we are SO ready for you tomorrow in Syosset, NY! #playitsafe #playmatters @CommuterEdu
