    Tues. reply: #BFC530 Creating the culture allows metacognitive reflectivity on the culture. If assessment includes formative assessment then interventions in the developmental stage can improve outcomes. #FRN365

    Advice to student teacher: it is all about relationships. After that, own it. Be your best self and remember to be kind to yourself. Despite all the paperwork, it is the best way of life. #bfc530

    #bfc530 I would tell young #teachers to stay away from negative people. Do not let anyone take away your enjoyment of working with #students every day.
  • BrianHerb17 Jun 13 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    Get to know your students. It will make it much easier to figure out how how get and hold their interest, how to motivate them, how to connect with them, how to make them feel welcome in your classroom. #bfc530

    And what a joy for Ss to have so many unique experiences. Great Ts come in all different packages in terms of behavior management, style, and pedagogy, but the core sameness is that they're in it for the kids. Ss can spot a phony a mile away, so they know authenticity. #bfc530

    In grades 5 - 7 I was in an innovative "open area classroom" with 60 Ss - we were put in charge of our learning & had so much freedom of choice. Those are the only yrs in school that I remember actually learning. I wanted to reproduce that feeling for my Ss #bfc530

      I would tell them that teaching is about building relationships with students and staff to help people find what they are passionate about so they can take action. This means meeting people where they are and knowing that the smallest changes can be the biggest wins. #bfc530

    Wow. What an experience, and think how that shaped you and your approach to teaching. I always ask Ts when was a time in their life that they learned the most, and often when they share it was NOT in a school setting. We need to create more of what you describe IN school. #bfc530

    Good luck to her!! It sounds like she’s a great candidate because she’s gettting lots of interviews! She’ll land her dream school soon. 💕 #BFC530

    There is at least 1 whole chapter in my book about this, because it’s so big and so important. 1. Collect good people B. Be a person 1st, $ be curious, humble, reflective, caring, and teachable. #bfc530

    1. Those who are doing the talking are doing the learning. 2. Limit your lectures to 7 minutes or less. 3. Not all advice is good advice. 4. Read Mathematical Mindsets 5. Create a Twitter PLN. #bfc530

    Love what you do and care about your students. Period. Kids see everything - it pays to be real and transparent with your attitude. #BFC530

    Good morning everyone! One week to moving up day! Where it is sad to come to an end with my ss, I love the feeling of pride emanating from our 8th graders on that day and the stars in the eyes of the little ones who look up to them. #bfc530

    Folks voted for weekly through July & August. Now we just need enough questions in the bank to last us daily through June and weekly through summer. Maybe back to daily for the last week of August? #bfc530

    Also not too sure why an old question popped up for everyone this morning 🤔 #bfc530 The new one was scheduled for 5:29am but seems like folks never saw it.

    Intentionally select instructional approaches & strats that will best respond to your learners’ needs. To do this, know your learners, in multiple ways & on an ongoing basis. This also requires knowing the WHY the pedagogy behind the strategies #bfc530

    Not only is setting/having low expectations for our learners unfair, it is sometimes a subtle form of discrimination. Years ago I made a major shift in the expectations I set for our learning when I realized that bias & assumptions had informed my lesson planning. #bfc530

    The old question had more responses today than the first time around (lol). Maybe some old reflective topics should be part of the summer que. #bfc530 @wheeler_laura

    Set the expectations high and give the students tools that they specifically need to meet the high expectations. We are not identical cookies, so we do not all require identical tools. #bfc530
