First, I’m reading “Humans who Teach” by Shamari K. Reid and WOW. Thinking about my positionality and the ways my work serves white supremacism is how I spent this morning.

I have big, big feelings.

A6: The one teacher organization hack I wish I had tried sooner is putting everything I do on my Google calendar! #T2Tchat

Yes! Even if it feels like the kids (or you) are eager for summer, pausing and reflecting is a great way to uplift spirits, and look ahead with a positive perspective!

I love this! We may use the term all the time, but this helps students conceptualize and internalize what growth mindsets are! #T2Tchat

This is a great hack!

A7: My end-of-the-year routine is cleaning out my desk. It's SO nice to start the year without that weighing you down! #T2Tchat

I love this! It can be adapted at all levels! #T2Tchat

Teacher2Teacher A5: 3-2-1s Three things that are going really well, 2 ways Ms. Jami can help you get there, and 1 challenge you're having. We 3-2-1 a lot - so they know the format, and it excites them. #T2TChat

A3: At the end of the day I rest. I do not allow myself to do anything so that I can start fresh the next day. I also talk to my family. #T2TChat

A4: give feedback as soon as possible while ideas are still in your head. #T2TChat

Yes! Handwritten notes of encouragement will stay with them longer than you think! #T2Tchat

A5: Have students write a letter to their future selves after looking at their grades! #T2Tchat

This is SO important! #T2Tchat

A4: My No. 1 tip for giving feedback is balancing both digital and hand-written feedback. I used to do only track changes/comments, but handing back marked up essays while they make changes digitally has been very powerful! With math, feedback should be immediate! #T2Tchat

This is a great way to bring students back! #T2Tchat

A3: I feel refrehsed when I read! I'm currently consuming all things Sarah J. Maas! #T2Tchat

I would LOVE to be in this class!

Absolutely! Starting the day without any hats is the way to go!

A2: When I feel students’ energy waning during a lesson, my go-to strategy is to put up a Blooket! #T2Tchat
