- It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Let's share the ❤! Comment and tag a teacher or educator colleague you appreciate and tell us why. We'll randomly pick two to receive $50 Amazon gift cards this Friday. 😃
- When checking in, don't ask students, "Are you OK?" Ask about their challenges. Ask them to share what they think are challenges for their friends and what would they recommend their friends do?
- #AMLE2017 is going to be one of the best conferences ever! We love Philadelphia & look forward to hosting 1000s of middle school educators!
- “Assign seats. Yes, student choice and voice is what educators want to foster…but not when it comes to choosing a seat on the first day. The fewer choices you can give students on the first day, the more secure they will feel.”
- "Make an 'F" or zero recoverable. It's recovery from mistakes that matures students, not being labeled permanently for them." @rickwormeli2 at #AMLEcamp
- “Rather than viewing middle schoolers with dread, we can marvel at their growth and look for ways to strengthen our relationship as these youths enter a new phase of life.” @dfkris 👏 👏 👏
- Observing what triggers your students’ outbursts will help you become better at using preventative de-escalation strategies to stop them before they start. via @Edutopia ed.gr/rni6
- This middle school teacher allows all students to turn in late work—no matter how valid or invalid, good or bad, truthful or deceptive the reasons. Read about her philosophy and how students are held accountable. ed.gr/ml0l
- "I totally reject the cultural narrative that middle school is a time to dread. That doesn’t mean it’s easy…It’s an opportunity. Yes, it’s a messy time…But that means you can still shape the person they will become." @Pfagell
- Parents and families of middle schoolers can join AMLE and @JBerckemeyer for a free webinar next week for tips on helping your kids while schooling at home amle.org/ServicesEvents… #middleschool #mschat
- It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek It's the most important job in the world. Take time this week to #ThankATeacher!
