@sage_stage Agree, but the teacher not writing the lessons, needs to read through and annotate, adjust, and edit to fit his/her classroom.

Agree or disagree: It is possible for one teacher to write effective lessons for another teacher.

My favorite day of the school year! #TCSDstaffkickoff #tatecountyschools #schoolspiritday

Thrilled to announce that I am now a math instructor at Arizona State University! Go Sun Devils! I didn't get a job here or anything. I'm just a math instructor physically on their campus.

I have always tried to think of a way on my own to explain dividing fractions so that it makes more sense to those who need to “get it.” Thanks to @howie_hua for this explanation!

@howie_hua Bahahaha!! How about Trig or Cal? Ha!

Getting ready for the new school year! Been working on New Teacher Orientation decorations this week! #NewTeacherOrientation #TCSDcurriculum #TeachersAreSuperheroes

Leaders, bring your assets

We are doing school a little differently this year. Our teachers & kids start in July instead of Aug., but they can get an extended break in Oct. & Mar. It’s very weird having back to school admin meetings in June, but I am already excited to see what the new year brings at TCSD!

Instead of asking, "What am I going to teach today?" & "What work will I have my students do?" TRY "What learning do I want kids to experience today?" & "How will they show themselves and me that they've learned it?" The jobs always been about learning anyway. Not teaching.

@MrsAutumnRiley We got a puppy at the beginning of spring break…so we are training and letting her get used to her new home.

Spring Break is a magical time of year! We went to the planetarium today! What has everyone else been doing for this week? #edtech #teachertwitter

@FixingEducation Hmm…why does it fold up? It isn’t like you can put anything in that space to be able to quickly open it up in time of emergency…

Hey educators… What are your thoughts about a bullet proof safe room in schools? 🤔😐 #EdChat #EduTwitter

@AuntieRobbie @pwharris Amazing strategy!!

@pwharris I used what I know about a clock to help me solve this. I visualized what 5/6 and 1/4 in minutes…50 min - 15 min = 35 min. 35 min is equivalent to 35/60 which I know is 7/12 of an hour because I can visualize it using the image of a clock face (i.e. the 7 on the face = 35 min).

It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like/Retweet so others can see! #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmath

@KateDevine515 @pwharris I have never thought of using a clock before!

@pwharris 5/6 of an hour is represented by 10 on a 12 hr clock. 1/4 of an hour is 3 numbers on that same clock. 10-3 is 7 so 7/12.

@natabasso Yes, yes, yes! Allowing students to take ownership of their learning is so impactful! So, what do you do when you have a kid that definitely needs more help, but refuses to admit it time and time again.

Rather than grading homework, invite students to self-assess on three criteria: 1. I need more challenge. 2. I need more practice. 3. I need help. Start class in differentiated groups around these needs.

@ScottRRocco A1: Effective performance for teachers & admin looks differently for both positions. Teachers - students are learning the standards and there’s evidence from that. Admin - their teachers are growing—becoming better educators and are happy, for the most part. #satchat

QUESTION 1 IS NOW UP FOR DISCUSSION: Q1: How do you define effective performance as it relates to teachers and administrators? #satchat

@ScottRRocco A2: I’m a curr. specialist, which translates to coach at times. I attend PD and incorporate strategies that I’ve learned that have proven effective. Listening to my teachers and trying to meet their needs helps me improve. Using feedback/evaluation forms helps! #satchat

QUESTION 2 IS NOW UP FOR DISCUSSION: Q2: One of our goals as teachers and administrators is to constantly improve. How do you personally work on improving your performance in education? #satchat

@ScottRRocco A3: Sharing effective strategies, activities, research, new ideas, etc. that have worked or that I have heard about. Being an encourager. Staying excited about education. #satchat

QUESTION 3 IS NOW UP FOR DISCUSSION: Q3: In education we should help others in our profession improve. How do you help other teachers and administrators improve their performance as professional educators? #satchat
