Who was going to tell me how challenging it is to set up a new classroom?!😅 Such a beautiful start to my first year!! Back to 5th grade!! @SamfordEd

Last day of being a student teacher, incredibly bittersweet. Reflecting on my experience- the students have taught me more than I could’ve ever wished to teach them. They’re encouraging and incredibly smart. They have loved me so well.

@SamfordEd teachers and faculty behind the scenes preparing for our @i3academy_ friends! Looking forward to a day of learning and fun! @DrLizi @Benaye46 @drscarbs25 @JanemMarlin

such a wonderful day with my PLC! Steam day was so much fun

From receiving the Carol D. Dean Outstanding Service Award to passing edTPA, I’m getting closer and closer to having my own classroom. Words cannot express the deep joy I’m feeling. @SamfordEd @SamfordU

Exit Ticket Choice Board. Great alternatives to #homework. What would you add? bit.ly/3yxWowr Via Learning w/ Lauren & @TCEA #12CharacteristicsOfDeliberateHomework #teachertwitter #EdChat #EdTech #edutwitter #Education #edu #GrowthMindset

Learning from my CT at my Urban Placement that teaching can be hard but the students keep you coming back. Receiving this note on my last day already makes me realize that! We have a huge impact on our students no matter how long we are there for. #improvingyourpractice

For my PLP this semester I focused on 3 strategies for formative assessments and how to collect data. Check it out! onfireforeducation.blogspot.com/2023/04/strugg…

Collaborating with your PLC is especially important when it comes to grading and assessment. Are you all on the same page?

I don’t know about y’all but I could definitely improve on tracking student data for formative assessments, they are just as important as summative assessments! I found this blog that shows simple ways to track student progress- check it out! blog.reallygoodstuff.com/simple-ways-to…

When thinking about exit tickets, has anyone else given an exit ticket and done nothing with it? Because same! This semester I’m learning to be more intentional with exit tickets because they can be used as a great tool for comprehension checks!

This semester I’ve been learning about grading and assessment and I keep going back to the Alabama Conference for Grading and Assessment- “Giving curves and taking points off for things not related to the standards is not effective assessment”

Reflecting on my Professional Learning Plan, engaging students in higher-level thinking can be simple. Here are some sentence starters I've seen help spark those deeper conversations to push students further in their learning!

A magical sunset 😲

Today we had the opportunity to share our Action Research which we have been working on throughout the semester. We focused on implementing multi-sensory strategies into the classroom to target an area of need for our students! What a great opportunity! @JanemMarlin
