@drshawnriley Congratulations, Mrs. Luethy! So deserving!

Wild Horse is home to a new mural that reflects diversity in the school's community. Students watched the process as artist Cbabi Bayoc (the letters in his first name stand for "Creative Black Artist Battling Ignorance") went to work giving students art that resembles our world.

How do we motivate kids? Don't set-up if/then rewards for tasks require creativity, problem-solving, & critical thinking! Instead, give autonomy, engage in the development of mastery, and seek a greater purpose. Thanks, @DanielPink! #drive #SummerReading #rockwoodartsed

5 strategies teachers can use to increase the chance that students will have a positive response to the question “How do I feel?”: 1) effective pacing, 2) physical movement, 3) intensity and enthusiasm, 4) humor, and (5) positive teacher-student and peer relationships

Avoid verbal feedback that references intelligence or talent. Don't communicates the message that a student either has it or doesn’t. #growthmindset

I can’t wait! #TonyAwards twitter.com/thetonyawards/…

Listening to @KatherineLewis's book while continuing to reflect on #GRIT. Allowing kids to fail early, and responding calmly when they do, discourages the development of fixed mindset "fragile perfects". Self-worth is not determined by successes/failures. #edchat #rockwoodartsed

Psychologically wise parents and teachers are both supportive AND demanding! @rsdfinearts #GRIT #rockwoodartsed

Where is time for play built into your curriculum? This is so important for igniting interest in beginners! #rockwoodartsed #artsed

Passion grows as we develop and deepen our skills. Instead of waiting for a lightning bolt moment, consider investing more time and effort in something that interests you. Sparks grow into flames! #rockwoodartsed #artsed

What role does talent play in developing world-class expertise? Here are some books I’m reading! #rockwoodartsed #musiced #artsed

We cannot just hope for a great teacher in every classroom, we need to guarantee it. #edchat #teacherpreparation #educoach
