@ErizhaClay Sure, sometimes students a quiet environment to work- that's not the same as believing silence needs to be the default

@teachbk When students are trying to think, it needs to be quiet enough for them to do so.
That's not a teacher being selfish. It's her taking the trouble to keep the environment good for learning.

So much of classroom management discourse is really about teacher preference. We absolutely should be questioning the default (traditional) practices and why we continue to protect them at the expense of our learners

The classroom default should be pin-drop silence 🔕 There is time for collaboration, think-pair-shares, discussion and debate When the teacher decides so But the default is silence. That's the only way education can work, and it's how students should enter the room 🚪 #Edchat

@teachbk My school district stated they wanted to be the leader in using AI in our county 🙃
English
If AI writes your lesson plans, designs assignments, grades student work, composes emails to families, or "transforms teaching and planning in any way" I hope you're honest about it. Your principal, colleagues, students, and parents have the right to know.

If genAI is so "good" then lets put a tag on everything produced with it. Tag your products, tag your writing, hell tag your college diploma. Lets see what the market actually thinks when AI usage is fully disclosed.

@teachbk When a teacher uses A.I., students and parents should be told when and how A.I. tools are being used. Students and parents have a right to know that the teacher did not do the intellectual work.

Even the best ELA curriculum that builds content knowledge in social studies and science is not a valid substitute for the explicit teaching of social studies and science. Students need to develop the critical thinking skills & mental models needed for those specific disciplines
Mrs. K@MelK_Ed
@NiaEducational @CurriculumIP You need an ELA program that integrates the reading of science and social studies into ELA (reading and writing) without that integration everything is surface level and true knowledge building/rigor/engagement is lost I don’t see how anyone could fit all of IR into 90 mins

@teachbk My 4th & 5th graders just "taught" their 1st grade buddies about erosion, deposition, weathering, plate tectonics, volcanoes, & earthquakes. We had 2 sessions. After the 1st session, my kids came back needing to do more research because the 1st graders "asked so many questions."

PBL: kids actually do the teaching in my class.

Students told they'd have to teach material recalled ~31% more than those preparing for a test. Nobody actually taught. Just expecting to explain something shifts your brain from passively absorbing to actively organizing
English
@DanaPalubiak Yes. Beacuse, as usual, the answer is, "it depends." The more we embrace nuance, the better we can make decisions that serve students' best interests
English
@teachbk I’ve seen classrooms that were quiet and compliant and not much learning happening.
And I’ve seen “noisy” rooms full of real thinking.
It’s not about the volume but rather it’s about the work being done.

One in four people raised Muslim have left Islam, which means that all polls of Muslim opinion substantially understate the degree of Muslim immigrant assimilation since leaving Islam is a type of assimilation. In my post today I document how big this bias...

I maintain that the single most insufferable thing about New Yorkers is that they bewilderingly try to claim everything. This transcends politics—all New Yorkers do this. Yes, everyone has coffee. Everyone has convenience stores (nicer than your “bodegas”). Everyone has what you have and it’s usually cleaner and cheaper!

When I tell people I'm an Afro Latina Muslim, people say "Of course you are. You're a New Yorker."
Grateful to celebrate with loved ones today, & grateful that our community is so richly diverse that we can honor all parts of ourselves today & everyday. Eid Mubarak, New York!

@AlwaysFlacko @souljagoyteller so you’re saying they’re too educated, too cultured, too —— NEW YORK--to be Muslim? Please tell me am misreading this
English
@souljagoyteller He’s basically a New York Jew who fasts for Ramadan lol.
His dad is a Columbia Professor, his mom is a globe trotting filmmaker, and he grew up in Columbia Faculty Housing and went to Bronx Science and then liberal arts college in Maine lol

Calling Zohran Mamdani a “third-worldist” is hilarious considering how openly multicultural he is
Zineb Riboua@zriboua
Zohran Mamdani is the perfect manifestation of this. Israel becomes the final expression of colonial Europe, and the Jew is recast not as a victim but as a symbol of enduring Western power. Opposition to Israel thus functions as a continuation of decolonization, a moral conflict that transforms the old fight against empire into a permanent contest between innocence and guilt. zinebriboua.com/p/zohran-mamda…

Our school district doesn't have time in the ELA curriculum for books and novels anymore. We use HMH now. Fast pacing chart monitored by district administration. Oh, you can still read books if you find the time. But there is no time.
