Will Your Classroom Get Enough ‘Likes’? Teachers Feel the Social Media Pressure https://ow.ly/oqlc50UiGPz Based on research from the EdWeek Research Center, the article starts with this summary: “In the last two years, nearly a third of teachers say they have felt pressured to portray a certain image on social media when it comes to their teaching approaches, popularity with students, classroom decorations, or how they dress, according to a nationally representative online survey conducted this fall by the EdWeek Research Center.” Teacher’s ‘social media’ performance is something I have not thought much about, but this article in @Edweek (LIV SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THEIR USERNAME TO USE) has me thinking. If #teachers need to be concerned with their online profile, what does that say about their ability to push #innovative ways to teach if they are distracted by the need to ‘perform’ for #parents and their community vs. facilitating the #learning of their #students?

The EdWeek State of Teaching survey, which polled a nationally representative sample of nearly 1,500 teachers in October 2023, found that teachers with three to nine years of classroom experience have worse morale than their peers who have either more or less experience. They are also less likely than teachers in other stages of their careers to say they’d recommend their own children, or those of a loved one, pursue a career in teaching. Why is this, and what can we do about it? Find out: https://vist.ly/zvxn #Education #Teaching

Happy Sunday! As the sun shines brighter and our calendars fill with summer plans, let's talk about a challenge many of us face but can navigate together: the summer slide. This isn't a myth; studies show that on average, students may slide back by two months in academic achievement over the summer months. But fear not! We have a plan. I'm thrilled to extend an invite to our Instagram Live, "Navigating Summer Slide: Effective Strategies for Principals, Educators, and Parents," featuring Claire Thomas from Early Intellect. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, June 11th at 7pm ET! We'll discuss practical, enjoyable ways parents can keep their children's literacy soaring over the summer - turning time off into time well-spent. Let's keep our students' achievements climbing, no matter the season. Share this with your network of educators and parents who might benefit. Are you ready to turn this summer into a season of recharging, learning, and fun? Drop a ☀️ in the comments or send a DM to let us know you'll join us! #PGCPS #mequelboldenconsulting #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #elementaryprincipals #earlyliteracy

💡Want to know how to best support and serve students? Ask them and they’ll tell you!!🌟 Portland Public Schools and our integral alternative school partners are dedicated to centering the voices of our students. Over the past 5 years, we have focused on gathering feedback from students during countless interviews and visits across our alternative school network. These four priorities consistently rise to the top: 🎯 Personalization: Students want their learning experiences to integrate their specific interests & skills. They also want to be able to demonstrate their knowledge and growth in various ways. 👥 Relationships: Students appreciate the time to build connection and trust amongst school community members. This time is crucial to their well being, their sense of belonging and supports their progress in school! 📣 Empowerment: Students want to feel emboldened to express their needs, make decisions about their learning, and help inform their educational paths. 🔃 Flexibility: Students need flexible scheduling options and varied types of learning environments. So get out and ask students, “What is working, and what’s not?” Then heed their advice! It’s imperative, if we want to create inclusive and responsive environments that inspire ALL of our learners. Stay tuned for updates as we continue this important journey! <This is repost with edits> #StudentVoice #StudentPartnersInLearning #PPSDistrict  #InnovativeAltSchools

🎓 Tip of the Day for Teachers and Administrators: Help students maximize their learning potential by encouraging them to break study sessions into manageable chunks. Research shows that shorter, focused sessions with breaks in between lead to better retention and understanding. 🧠 Encourage this practice, and watch your students excel!

The Battle Beyond School Walls ~ In today's fast-paced world, schools face the challenge of nurturing not only students' academic abilities but also their emotional well-being. Despite best efforts, fostering a culture of positivity in schools is often hindered by several obstacles. Negative External Influences: Social media exposes students to cyberbullying, unrealistic comparisons, and constant negativity, which can undermine the positive environment schools strive to create. These external pressures can erode students' self-esteem and make it difficult for educators to maintain a positive atmosphere in the classroom. To combat these challenges, schools must address the impact of social media by integrating media literacy into the curriculum, offering support for issues stemming from online interactions, and creating a classroom environment that actively counters these negative influences. By tackling these challenges, schools can better promote a positive and supportive educational experience. #ImpartingPositivity #SocialMediaImpact #PositiveSchoolCulture #StudentWellBeing #EducationalChallenges #MiTranGlobal #PositivityHub

How can you deepen student engagement, enhance intrinsic motivation, increase real-world application and improve wellbeing? Give students greater agency! I started implementing a few shifts last year in my DP Psychology classes and the results surprised me. Not only did the students reap all of the above benefits, but they did so while maintaining strong exam results. You can hear more in this podcast episode in which Kyle Wagner interviews me about implementing Agentic shifts within a prescribed, exam-based curriculum.
