@MeehanEDU @FindingMyAloha @mrsjamiehalsey @HofmannEDU Is there a link you can share?

@MrsMarcakis We dedicated a full episode of the #RebelTeacherPodcast to this exact topic this week! @FindingMyAloha @mrsjamiehalsey @HofmannEDU and I had the chance to really dive in and kick around a bunch of great ideas. Absolutely worth a listen!!!

I work for a school district & for #EMC2Learning. This week I've spent every bit of 30+ hours in meetings, trainings, and R&D about AI and #ChatGPT. Rest assured the tech is here to stay. This is every bit as big of a moment in education as the 2020 shift to remote learning.

@RebekahODell1 Great idea!

@MovingWriters I can’t attend. But, this sounds great!

@ncte I would like students to create a reading habit, find texts they love, and think critically about their texts.

Q4: Zooming out a bit, from a big-picture perspective, what are three intentions you have for growing a culture of readers in your classroom this year? #NCTEchat

@a2matthew @FloopEdu I love @FloopEdu and so do my students. Great ideas here!

Two Questions to Think about as Teachers enter the 2022-2023 School Year…

@Mr_Rablin I try to play at least one 5 minute (or so) game each week. Sometimes Ss played as tables and other times they played as individuals. I gave points for the top places and tallied them all year for an ongoing friendly competition.

What are your favorite things to do at the beginning of the year to help build community in your classroom? I want to shake things up a bit. I didn't love my approach last year.

Every teacher is a language teacher. Love the morpheme posters shared here by Emily. Morphology and etymology should be weaved into every age and stage of schooling. Makes for fascinating detective work.

@MarisaEThompson Looks like you are already off to a great start…. Good luck with the new job!

It’s my first full, full day of my new job and I’m trying to be very intentional with my time now that I can determine my own routine a little bit. So I’m starting my day with a little beach walk. Good morning, everyone! #UnlimitedTeacher #Intentional #balance 🏝 ❤️

@heymrsbond Awesome ✨

It's not just engagement that declines as students progress through schooling. Add creativity, enthusiasm, and asking questions to the list. @HumResPro #edchat bradlatzke.com/do-schools-rea…

@RebekahODell1 @sam_futrell1 Some of my writers struggle with organizing their ideas when they are writing, which makes it hard as a reader to follow their thinking.

@marchioneem @mssackstein @SusanDebraBlum Loved them both too.

Writing & research for my thesis has been an experience to say the least - one that has been tremendously uplifted & supported by the amazing minds of these texts! @mssackstein #HackingAssessment and @SusanDebraBlum #Ungrading are two must-reads. Excited to share thoughts soon!

@mssackstein @SurthrivEDU I came to say the same! They don’t know there’s another way. If the knew, they would do it.

What is stopping folks from giving up the 100 point scale in education?

@jkirk___ That’s cool. I love this.

@RebekahODell1 I love this idea. But, my students do not watch the videos unless we do it together. 😞

@MrsMarcakis @theVogelman @RebekahODell1 @AllisonMarchett Dunno. Where's the community? If it's on Facebook, that's a no-go for me. Don't use that app, won't use that app.

Help me with Mentor Texts. I don't have time to find them and I have not cultivated the skill. I'm in search of a curated list of texts/passages that will help me teach discrete writing skills to high school students. Who can help me?

@AngelaStockman @m_drez @SurthrivEDU @RebekahODell1 @AllisonMarchett @MovingWriters This ⬆️

@theVogelman @SurthrivEDU @RebekahODell1 @AllisonMarchett I came here to put this title down. You could also join the Moving Writers Community. It’s awesome. What kinds of writing are you looking for?

@SurthrivEDU @RebekahODell1 @AllisonMarchett Here is the link to the book I reference. It's wonderful! amzn.to/3t6Avlo
