ECET2 stands for Elevating and Celebrating Effective Teaching and Teachers. It was born out of a desire to provide a forum for exceptional teachers to learn from one another and to celebrate the teaching profession. The convening experience is designed to inform and inspire colleagues, develop attendees’ leadership potential, and hone their craft.
Our focus is on providing meaningful opportunities for each attendee to form connections to other attendees, high-quality professional development and professional development providers, and his/her own reason why they’re educators.
So I figured out how to do a #280characters tweet this evening:
1st - go to https://t.co/nFIQceHGZs
2nd - Drag the box to your bookmarks bar
3rd - Go to https://t.co/7vZFKnOFJb
4th - Click the box
5th - That's it
6th - I still have 57 characters left, so I'll add a step six
Learning a lot right now in my first session at #ecet2njpa Designing Assessments for Empathy, Engagement and Agency. The presenters are providing us with actual examples they implement in their classes.
The Designing Assessment for Empathy, Engagement and Agency gave us some specific examples of how they incorporated social justice education in their classes with their Ss at #ecet2njpa#ECET2life.
Attending @rjw118's second session on "Leading from the Classroom: A Model for Teacher Leadership". Excited to see what @NJEA has planned in this area. #ecet2njpa#ecet2life
@rjw118 advises our group the eligibility and program requirements for the Teacher Leader Education Advisory Board (TLEAB) for @NJEA at #ECET2life#ecet2njpa
@maverikcrq notifies us that "Ss don't really remember lessons. However, they remember the experiences" during the What is a Good Question session. What are you doing to give Ss the best experience? #ECET2life#ecet2njpa
Had the great opportunity to sit next to @HillMrispo during question 2 of the ProAction Cafe. Had great convos with different educators from NJ & Pa around Teacher Leadership. #ecet2life#ecet2njpa
I also learned that the technology is there that could make lesson plans more reflective of modern classrooms. Any entrepreneur wanna make some $$$? #ECET2LIFE#ecet2njpa
Had the great pleasure of sitting next to @stacey_arzt during the ProAction Cafe question number 3. Haven't seen her since her first ever #edcamp in November. Was great seeing her again at #ecet2njpa#ecet2life
@TheConnectedEdu led the Cultivate a Calling session at #Ecet2Life#ecet2njpa. She allowed the attendees to get to know more about her and her family. Very powerful story!
When you hear a superintendent say " ridiculously inappropriate SGOs" I suddenly feel not alone in a world where I hear "data" instead of "students" too much #ECET2life#ECET2NJPA
By the time a student graduates @pvrhsd they should be able to critically think- from all sides and perspectives- not just the ones they're told to believe #Get2how#ECET2life#ecet2njpa
If we learn to take care of teachers, we can solve the teacher shortage. How do we stay healthy, safe, supported, engaged, and challenged? #ECET2LIFE#ecet2njpa
My reality: when a coworker tragically passes away, how does your school respond? Is your grief respected? Is their memory honored? #ECET2LIFE#ecet2njpa
Are there times u haven't feel supported from a coworker, admin, parent, etc? How do we improve these relationships ? Let's praise any improvement #ECET2LIFE#ecet2njpa
" Education is the most archaic system there is... how do we change that ?" @barrykid1 asking all the right questions to change the future of ed #ECET2LIFE#ecet2njpa
Truth: learning all these cool things Ts are doing with their classrooms bring back the pain that my flexible seating chairs were taken out of my room, Ss loved them #ecet2life#ecet2njpa
@Arsant10 had us find definition to made up words. It was a great activity to get participants engaged and network. This will be a great activity for students. #ecet2life#ecet2njpa
Sat a table where all three ladies (@CrimsonTideDST, @moespy1203 & Rene) won a prize 2 days in a row. Rubbed off off on me. So I won 2 books and a cup. @moespy1203 was nice enough to switch her prize, @OZOBOT bit, for my prize. My son will be ever grateful! #ECET2LIFE#ECET2NJPA
“We need to have much loftier goals for our kids! We focus so much on the short-term, that we lose sight of the larger picture.” ~@SeanTSlade#ecet2njpa#ecet2life
" the best teachers...are the ones that are activists" powerful reflection on how to be " hope dealers" by @Okaikor - too powerful to tweet through it ! #ecet2life
