I've started the practice of having my students write down why they are a valuable asset to a group before I send them into breakout rooms. Frankly, I don't care if it helps them collaborate in breakout rooms. I just am happy if it helps them remind themselves of their value.

I love this for an end of the semester assignment. Self-reflection is a powerful tool. @rebalover2844

Just shared this in a training session today. 💛 the simplicity of this exercise in helping students to appreciate their growth. Thought this may be helpful for other educators as the semester nears an end. Help Students Analyze Their Growth Over Time catlintucker.com/2020/01/gro…

After 4 hours of hard work, I have created a virtual replica of book speed dating. :) @pennykittle, I hope you would be proud. docs.google.com/presentation…

My students also “speed dated” books today as they created “What I might read next” lists.

Surveyed my new seniors. 72% of them cannot identify a single author they like. Two-thirds of them “never” read in their spare time. Never. I know there are many factors behind this, but I can’t help wonder what role schools have played in killing the ❤️ of reading.

We’re not in the industrial era anymore, so our classroom seating shouldn’t reflect that world: edut.to/2zYkAHm

What will help me more as a coach/teacher- looking @ Carson Wentz data points or watching all of his game film? What does that mean for EDU?

Students must not sit there and passively consume information for the whole lesson. They will forget most of it--guaranteed.
