A1 I would feel isolated and probably frustrated! I would hope for patient teachers with inviting smiles. Someone who gave me picture supports and maybe a translator or someone who spoke my native language. #FCPSlearn
Hey hey!! My name is stacey and I teach middle school science in Winchester va #fcpslearn
A5 they are kids. I feel like we forget this. we need to expect them to make mistakes like kids. When they dont make mistakes we cheer. when they do we are there to help them navigate and cheer them on all the while #champforkids
Sorry I'm late #champforkids baseball game for ths kids. But I'm stacey I teach 8th grade science in va and I'm in time for the last question. Lol.
Positive behavior reinforcement is huge. Or I will tell them ahead of time that their answer for #5 is correct and i will call on them later to share. It gives them the safety net of knowing their right before they share out. #AIMSnetwork
A2 I start by pointing out their strengths and try to work with them how we can translate for example their love of drawing into mastery of science. I like to let students know that learning looks different for everyone #AIMSNetwork
A1 closed mindset comments like I'm stupid, I dont get this its too hard- are a big indicator to me of low academic self esteem. #AIMSnetwork
A5 so many! But "it is our choices that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter Series #FCPSlearn
A4 be willing to admit when you make mistakes, create a growth mindset in your classroom. Invest time in getting to know your students beyond their grades in your class and name on a roster #FCPSlearn
A3 personalized learning, voice and choice, and pbl are ways I use to allows students to explore science but incorporate their personal strengths and learning preferences #FCPSlearn
A2 this really echoes my teacher life right now both of them.as Ts we have to continually revise and review our practices and put student learning first. Times are changing and the best teachers roll with it and adapt. #FCPSlearn
A1 average exists in teaching to the test. Not letting students expand explore and relate content to their lives
is the cherry on top that takes teaching and learning beyond average #fcpslearn
