That awkward silence where every second feels like an hour actually has its benefits! ⏳ 🙌 #EduSky #teachers #ClassroomManagement

Did you know? Extending your waiting time after asking a question makes room for methodical thinkers and shy students—and can improve class participation rates by as much as 30%. Meanwhile, asking students to think-pair-share before soliciting answers can boost participation rates up to 70%, compared to immediately calling on students.

I totally align w/what you said about “exposing students to a wide array of career & educational options via career fairs, mentoring and hands-on learning from an early age” that will “spark curiosity and ignite ambition,”. This is MY WHY & has been the entirety of my prof. career as an educator.

As a (district-winning) XC coach, I encouraged my runners to ‘run YOUR race’ —> ‘always push yourself to do your absolute best & you’ll always win by learning & getting better.’ TTE, I do not compare myself to others. I compete against who I was yesterday. #DontLose #Grow #GrowthMindset #RedefineWIN

Agreed. Can’t wait to watch my niece and her friends make up new games and songs while running around and not having a care in the world.

Struggling Ss will continue to struggle when no sustained effort addresses WHY they CONTINUE to struggle. Ditching conceptual understanding in favor of “drill & kill” rote memorization perpetuates classism & low socioeconomic status. #BlackEduSky #EduSky #iTeachMath #STEMeducators #PodcastWorthy

Looking at recent TIMMS data, I want to get specific about the yrs 2007-2011 and 2011-2019’s lost ground. Since time only moves forward, how are we going to fix this WITHOUT lowering educational standards? Can anyone say #TeacherEfficacy? #EduSky #BlackEduSky #iTeachMath #PodcastWorthy

This is a slippery slope indeed. First states. Now curricula. Who’s next? Teachers? Is this how we hold everyone accountable moving forward? #EduSky #BlackEduSky #ELARTeachers #ALLEducators #PodcastWorthy

Eight students look intensely at the book their male teacher is showing them as he reads the book to them.

THIS!!!! Let us never forget!! This is why teacher efficacy, especially in the math classroom, is of the UTMOST importance to positively change student outcomes and increase student achievement. #EduSky #BlackEduSky #STEMEducators #iTeachMath

As we wrap up 2024, I want to extend 🫶🏽 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & esp all of my fellow educators. We’ve much to be 🙏🏽 for, esp those students’ lives & futures we impact daily. A special thank you to the owners of Taste Budzzz, Houston for their thoughtful generosity. Absolutely PHENOMENAL!

"Censorship teaches conformity, not critical thinking. By banning books, we create echo chambers instead of classrooms. Let’s teach our students to analyze, question, and grow—not to fear ideas that challenge their worldview. #TeachTheTruth #CriticalThinking"

😍😍The “unboxed” method of partial quotients!! What an interesting way to connect division as the inverse operation of multiplication to those Ss who initially struggle with traditional algorithms. So excited to show this to my colleagues tomorrow! How cool!! #iTeachMath #eduSky

When my 12yo twins started reading less because of middle school vibes I installed the Libby app on their phones, connected it to all three NYC library systems, and bought them a subscription to Shonen Jump. They have since read hundreds of manga—HUNDREDS. Place books wherever they are.
