WHY do school districts keep purchasing iPads for students? They are SO expensive, and much less useful than chromebooks (which are 1/4 the cost). ny.chalkbeat.org/2021/3/19/2…
A5: First choice Hogwarts, second choice East Dillon High so I could get inspirational speeches from Coach Taylor whenever I need them #fnl #texasforever #utedchat
A2: I hope my students remember me as a teacher who genuinely believed in their ability to succeed, both as people and as mathematicians #UTedChat
A1: My grandmother! She was an amazing elementary teacher, then elementary education professor, with a lifelong passion for literacy #UTedChat
A3: StrengthsFinder or a compass points activity allows teams to discuss their strengths and weaknesses in an objective way. Then they can action plan productive ways to work together #UTedChat
A2: Principals should help teachers set authentic goals, give them regular feedback on their progress, and provide the support necessary to reach them #UTedChat
Love this! Relationships are built by doing hard work together. teapaw.org/vb_kristin/status/9284…
A2 Honesty. If we want real relationships, we need to be able to take constructive criticism and learn from it, not just expect a strong evaluation for doing nothing. Relationships based on honesty grow; those based on avoiding conflict don't help anyone. #utedchat
A1: Clear communication, plus high expectations for teachers and consistent instructional support to help them get there #UTedChat
A4: Provide access and support so Ss can explore and get inspired by new tech #utedchat
A2: Libs can ensure all Ss feel success and foster a growth mindset by helping them find books they love at the right level #utedchat
