Students created poems to explore different aspects of their identity, including values, beliefs, and experiences.

My favourite line, "I pretend all my doubters do not exist." 💥

To experience motivation, individuals must possess:
▶️ a reasonable expectation of success
▶️ a positive valuation of the task at hand

Teacher actions:
- set clear, achievable goals
- give descriptive feedback
- create a supportive environment
- put a bow on it 🎀

Parasocial relationships are one-sided bonds students form with instructors via digital media. These connections can boost engagement and motivation, even through a screen. @lindyhoc.bsky.social

Embedding short instructional videos are an easy entry point. #PPT @bookcreator.com

Why choice boards?
➡️ To give students ownership of their learning (voice/choice).
➡️ Leveraging your time to allow for small group instruction.
➡️ Choice boards are intentional, goal driven and data driven.

Student engagement is equal parts attention and commitment. For students to pay attention they need learning opportunities that are:
➡️ relevant
➡️ authentic
➡️ meaningful

Love @bookcreator.com's newest text to speech feature.

Decoding every word can be overwhelming and effect comprehension. TTS allows students to engage with text more independently, providing valuable practice with word recognition and pronunciation. #ncce25 @abbyschools.bsky.social

Background knowledge is one of the most important factors in a student's ability to comprehend. The more you know about a topic, the easier the text is to read, understand, and remember. #ELSky #EduSky

Transactional v. Transformational Leader

A transactional leader says, "Here's the curriculum, books & PD. Now figure it out."

A transformational leader says, "let’s build your skills together so that we can tackle greater challenges." 💥 @jorgedoespbl.bsky.social @ditchthattextbook.com #bced

Book Creator is the "swiss army knife for the classroom".

A fantastic platform, much more than just creating books. A must watch session with @ditchthattextbook.com @katiefielding.com

Without simplifying this text, what could teachers do to make this text more comprehensible for students who can decode?
✔️ guiding question
✔️ synonyms
✔️ images
✔️ teacher caption
✔️ audio

Below are a few templates for "spelling analysis" station for the older grades, feedback please.

Context: Intermediate & Middle school teachers are looking to target specific foundational skills but most templates look "babyish".
