Never underestimate the power of repetition. If you want students to remember stuff, you need to say it, show it, repeat it over and over and over again. #TeacherSky #EduSky

What's your favorite strategy for encouraging Ss to look back over their learning?

This one is via T Brett Benson:👇

#EduSky

“One of my favorite retrieval practice strategies is a 'knowledge bomb.' Five minutes to list everything you know about a concept we’ve been learning about for a few weeks. Challenge students to see who can drop the biggest bomb. They love showing all they know!”—Teacher Brett Benson

How could I NOT check out @supersansbury.bsky.social 's research on the importance of #SchoolLibrarians in student literacy?!?

Definitely need to practice more #GuerrillaLibrarianship - sneaking in library chats as opportunities present!

Children can differentiate fake news from real news, but struggle to identify real news as real. And training made them more skeptical of all news types. This suggests the need for different kinds of interventions to help children differentiate effectively. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Schools should be seen as a community center, not just a place students go during the day. Schools can provide resources and fellowship for families in the community. #EduSky

When someone really listens, it changes everything.
That’s what builds trust, confidence and motivation.
Not data. Not paperwork.
Just a leader who listens.

How do you encourage students to embrace mistakes?

#MathSky #ITeachMath #EduSky #WhatWorksForMe

What Works For Me! “My new math mantra (and for life, really) is ‘Make the mistake.’ I call, ‘Who thinks they got it wrong / thinks they need help? Can we share your answer to learn from it?’ I will circulate and tell kids who volunteer: ‘I see you, but you got it right... Hold that for a minute, let’s see if we can fix a mistake instead.’ Kids are taking a lot more risks and getting better in the process.” —Taryn Ballesty, Teacher
