I am a page dedicated to teaching people all about teaching at all levels!
This is so true! Time and time again students have shown how much better they respond to praise of their success than ridicule of their failures. Helping students grow means acknowledging their faults and helping students overcome them, that does NOT mean blanket "X" marks wherever they messed up!
"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do. " - Temple Grandin

Happy birthday to a pioneer in education! 🎉

I started my internship under a seventh grade math teacher a couple weeks ago, I have made discoveries!

-students respect you when you respect them(this only applies to like half the students)

-they do not respect my authority because I am not a full teacher(help how do I get them to listen😭)

This is definitely something to talk about. Many kids that have access to AI and even just Google struggle to put in the right things to get a good answer. How you ask a question is super important and has drastic effects on the result you get. We need to teach prompting if we continue to use it

Education is and always will be about growth not getting a good grade. This is why the push towards ungrading is growing. It is so important to remember what school is really for! If your classroom is a place of learning the grades will fall into place if you give them the opportunity to show growth
If a student can’t redo an assessment, is it really about learning?

Let’s stop pretending “real life doesn’t allow retakes.”
Most of adult life IS retakes.

This is hugely true! Often I see the biggest failure in teachers to explain to students with sources about why they are doing something. Especially in highschool/college the students you are teaching are people with the ability to understand the why. So tell them! It goes a long way I promise.
Education is evolving, and so must your leadership. Check out this graphic from the Lead for Excellence Framework to discover steps to becoming—and staying—an impactful leader!

Yes the Prussian education model was literally our roadmap for building our system in the United States. This is a fact we cannot lose sight of, when anyone argues against education reform they are almost always arguing against critical thinking and independence of future generations!
Did they teach you that AFTER compelling you to pledge allegiance? Or did they explain separation of powers and world politics before offering the pledge? familiar with how the Prussians invented state education for ease of indoctrination?

This is the result of lifelong learning centers being closed, people do care and it is important to remind everyone of that. Everyone has the ability to learn new things and grow at any age and lifelong learning centers are a major way people grow out of poverty(strain theory is a cool rabbit 🕳️)
Devastated that the Centre for Lifelong Learning @york.ac.uk is being closed after 40 years. What a loss to education in the region. Feel for students and staff. Being a tutor has been joy, doing what universities should be doing by sharing knowledge widely with our communities.

Yes, the United States system of education was literally built on the idea of creating obedient factory workers all the way back to Horace Mann(cool rabbit hole) it is important to realize that any attempt to keep critical thinking out of the classroom only benefits those who wish to manipulate us!
Tapping the sign again.

The sign says 'min-maxing education for optimal efficiency is part of a fascist agenda that dehumanizes learners.'

If anyone is looking for an interesting rabbit hole to go down the successes and failures of the vark(visual, auditory, reading, kinesthetic) model of learning by Neil Fleming in the late 1980s.

Censorship is too large an issue in the US education system, sadly many things cannot be talked about to their fullest extent because certain things simply can't be taught well when you can't talk about things such as critical race theory, LGBT+ topics, or varying perspectives.
Q2: Recognizing your current context, how does censorship shape how you’re thinking about teaching #literacies?
