#Edchat is a hashtag, a movement—it is a weekly organized Twitter discussion of educators and people interested in education that meet virtually from all over the world. #Edchat serves as a conversation thread on Twitter and is also used for organized weekly discussions.
As an extrovert, I often need to think about the strategies I can use to respect introverted students while embracing their skills and abilities rather than forcing them into my comfort zone. Great read! #edchathttps://t.co/1ys7ykhf4p
Why can't we structure classrooms for innovation and movement? Is there a rule that states students must sit down and face forward and listen to someone spreak at them? #KeepMoving#edchat

The overemphasis of testing, quantifying everything, and fixating on outcomes over experience is a sickness that has been affecting K-12 education for some time now. It is time for that tide to turn. #Education#edchat#teacher#k12#EdReform

Yikes! Uh, No! #ArmMeWith everything needed to teach. Community Watch involves all stakeholders. Look for social work and counseling interns, closest universities. Our school pooled money for full time counselor. Nurses needed every school. #edchat

Another gem of a quote: "Assessment culture is dumbing down universities." If you replaced the word universities with "K-12 education" the statement is just as true. #Education#edreform#edchat#teacher

We ask our students to get better every day. Grow. Improve. Learn.
We have an obligation to apply this to ourselves each day as well.
Always be learning. We must strive to get better every day. #edchat#JoyfulLeaders
When you plan to run an idea by someone who is reluctant, frame the pitch as a question: "Can we do a cost/benefit analysis of my idea?" It's harder to say no to a discussion than it is to a direct ask... and it will help them see the benefits of the idea. #edchat#leadership
"I was really bad at scaffolding PBL opportunities ...Too often my scaffolding was me 'telling them' what to do."

I volunteered as balloon-holder for @NCHS_CT/@FairfieldU student teacher Kristen Lee's lesson on voice and perspective. She popped a balloon and had students write from the perspective of another balloon, of a clown, of a child who once lost a balloon, etc. #engchat#edchat

I’ve come to realize out of the big 3 of teaching (curriculum, instruction, and assessment), assessment is probably the easiest to change yet often has the most resistance from teachers. 🤔 #sblchat#edchat
#EdChat 67 mins of engaged (thinking) reading a day -- to push student learning to the maximum. It is presumed that a chunk of this is done in English & History. How do we support those subjects? What other subjects can add time? How can we track as a school? (Guthrie 2004)
Math makes a good complement for a computer science degree. Most computer science degree programs require significant mathematics study, so students are able to gain a math minor without having to take many extra courses. #getdeclared#Edchat#higherEd#college#getorganized
Correction: The right technology is the accelerator. Accelerator probably isn’t the right analogy either as tech helps increase depth of understanding, creativity, application, different perspectives. So much more than increasing pace. #ice18#edtech#edchat
