My name is Bria and I’m a Phase 3 speech communication secondary education student within the UT Tyler School of Education Program. I plan to graduate in May with my degree and certification. #edfb4338#TxEdStrong#TxEd
Q1: Anything over an effect size of .4 is considered to be better than average. Feedback has an effect size of .7 - how do you give timely and meaningful feedback to students? #TXED
A4: They come to me with more needs than academic ones- I need to help them in all aspects. When Ss act out, it’s out of their need for love. I keep that at my forefront! #TXed#edleadership#KidsDeserveIt

A1- exitbslips, checking for understanding, flipgrid, and since we’re elementary lots of parent communication- it’s more important than we think! #txed
A1: On "coaching days" (#tbcoach), I attempt to give immediate feedback to teachers w/in or upon leaving the classroom. Not always successful, but working on it. #txed
Hi!! Jaime here from San Antonio, PK West Ave!! A1- This is why small group instruction is such an important tool. You’re face to face, and can give instant feedback. On the tech end of things-Seesaw is great for this asWell. #txed
Q2: Teachers' estimations about their students' achievement had the 3rd largest effect on student achievement (1.29 effect size). What does this say about the importance of our beliefs about what our students can and cannot do? #TXED
A1: One in one time is important. Allow student to reflect is key. @nearpod is a favorite during small group for immediate feedback. @edpuzzle is another great tool. #TXed
We particularly appreciated the presentations of Chairman @SenLarryTaylor and Rep. @DiegoBernalTX at the annual meeting of @TEGACTX today. Public servants of divergent views who framed #txed funding issues in very clear and civil ways. We hold such leaders in our prayers. #txlege

#txed A2 Through experience, your Ss will achieve by what they perceive their teachers BELIEVE! This is why I wrote my book "The Story of Always Believe" Make #AlwaysBelieve In Yourself your 1st rule! Watch it change the lives of your Ss.

I’m going into classrooms a lot more than I ever have. I’ve found great teachers crave feedback. I’ve enjoyed it so much. Has lead to great convos! #TxEd#WestAveEs

We can’t say kids can’t learn, if we haven’t been able to exhaust every possible way to teach them. Never give up on them. That should be every educator’s mission. #txed#WestAveEs

A3- I feel this Is where I struggle. I know where kids are and where they need to be, but even in PK, I think I could make it easy enough for them to understand and make goals for themselves. Helps them take ownership! #txed
Our teachers have goals/data binders for kids. They need to see where they are and where they need to be. They are great tools for teachers to know how to best support each child. Being specific and intentional gets you bigger a bang for your instructional buck. #txed#WestAveEs
A1. Scheduling one on one sessions throughout the week before school, conference period, lunch, after school. Zoom meetings, notes within journals, or emails are other options. #edfb4338#TxEd

A3- our teachers set goals with kiddos on Reading and for mastery of various TEKS on CBAs. SS chart their growth and explain - Rockstars from @mexia_junior presented it to Board Monday #TXed
Visuals. Give them models of what they need to achieve. Everyone can see what their work is supposed to look like. Even for the littles. #txed#WestAveEs
A3: Goal setting is so important!! I use a @JSerravallo stategy for reading goal bookmarks - and I also use it for writing goals for my students. It takes time, but it so important - and it’s so encouraging for Ss to keep track of all the goals they’ve accomplished! #TXed
#txed A3 Goals are huge! Helping kids set goals as a child is a huge step to them finding their life purpose. #AlwaysBelieve To help my Ss do this I print out posters like these that encircle my room.
A3: we’re keeping our i-binder as data binders this year for every student. Tests and important pages are kept in there. We use it to reflect on how we are growing in skills and overall in math. So far so good 😬 #txed
A1: We give feedback every single day. Oral and written. We have built a community who strives on building each other up. My class this year has embraced growth mindset and they are working hard every day to be stronger for themselves. #proudteacher#TXED

A2. It says we must have high expectations for our students no matter what their economic status is. If the students see that we have high faith and genuinely want to help them succeed, then they’ll believe it for themselves. #edfb4338#TxEd

We’re doing that with grade levels and teachers. It’s made planning more intentional and really focusing on what kids need to be able to do. Period stop. #txed#WestAveEs
Set the highest of high expectations. Expect more from your students than you every believe possible. They will rise up and meet those expectations. Kids are fearless and they want to succeed. I believe in them, and in return, they believe in themselves. #TXED

100% agree - and sometimes in that discussion you find the goal needs modification or that the S needs something more from you in order to take next steps. Conversation/relationship between teacher and student is key to Ss achieving their goals! #txed
A3. Each student is different so I want to make sure that I take the time to see what goals my individual students want to achieve then we can collaborate on a set of goals for the semester or school year. #edfb#TxEd
Setting individual goals and classroom goals is so important. Data binders and checking in frequently help students see where they are at and where they need/want to be. We set goals together at the beginning of the week, the start of each day, and reflect on them all! #TXED
Q5: Retention was shown to have a ngeative effect size (-.32). What can we do now to ensure all our students are able to be promoted to the next grade? #TXED
A4: YES! I tell my students to show me what’s in their brain for each concept we are learning/assessing/reviewing. It’s a great tool for students and teachers! #TXED
A4. I believe most students comprehend material when it’s being demonstrated while being explained. As a speech educator, I would incorporate plenty of graphs and charts for objectives. #edfb4338#TxEd

A5- formative assessment allows for real time support and intervention rather than waiting to fail and having so much to help a student learn and simultaneously stay on track with Reg class #TXed
A5 early intervention, why wait If you already know they’re struggling? Find the gap, scaffold to fill it. Kids can make HUGE gains if we give the right interventions. If they don’t make progress thru targeted interventions, it’s time to look further. #txed
A5-It is possible but challenging when you have standards a mile long and can only go an inch thick into them. But it is possible to help our students miss rentention. #TXed
To get the goal setting process started for my Kinder Ss, I draw pictures on post-it notes that represent a couple different goals kinder Ss could work on. Ss come to my desk 1 at a time to choose a goal they want to work on and place it on a "bookmark" to remember/discuss. #txed
A5: I think having those conversations about what the possible outcomes for the future are vital.
Be upfront yet supportive.
#proactivenotreactive#TXed
A4: Powerful tool because it supports students with making connections and can be used across all grade levels and subjects. Strategies that make the most impact are those that can be used in multiple ways. #TxEd
@TXEDMod A5: Be their person. Help them fight their hurdles. Show them you care enough to help them through their struggles. Never give up on them! #TXED
A5-lots of parent communication, differentiated instruction, filling in gaps, getting with colleagues to ask how they teach a concept Ss may be continuing to struggle in, #txed
A5: they are only us for a short period of time so we need to make sure we are getting the most bang for our buck - effectively using our instructional time for things with impact. Not just to keep them busy. #TXED

A5- Retention isn’t an option in PK, so I have to be sure they are ready for Kinder. I have to build them up and give them the confidence to succeed. #txed
I’ve started collaborating with different principals. My hiring for key positions has been different which has lead to different conversations about our instructional practices. Boy, am I learning a lot this year! #txed#WestAveEs

A6-Have a solid relationship with a school counselor in a similar make up as our district. Bouncing ideas off of each other and collaborating as much as possible. 🙌🏻
#smarternotharder#TXed
#txed A6 I tried to address this in my book. You NONVERBAL skills are HUGE in efficacy! Your Ss KNOW if you care about them and your opinion on your job. Being POSITIVE will INSPIRE your students to succeed!
A6. I’m networking more, collecting more books, asking for help when it’s needed and asking for advice within the field, seeking certifications that I can benefit from. #edfb4338#TxEd

See the price under the bottle? $964 Disgusting! @SalixPharma you should be ashamed! This is WITH my insurance! I need this prescription and am disgusted with the pharmaceutical industry taking advantage of this hard working teacher. It’s medication I must have.
