Rather than penalizing #students with a low #grade, be proactive in assisting students who have poor #organizational #skills by providing #support and #guidance... #MeaningfulAccurateGrading #K12 #EdChat #SunChat

As educators we continually need to self reflect and ask ourselves what do we do well and what can we do to be better. Improve your practise NEVER stop learning.

We’re hearing from our esteemed colleagues Jie-Qi Chen, PhD, Liz Tertell, and Yinna Zhang, PhD, about their recent trips to Ghana and the Mideast, where they visited early childhood facilities. It should be quite enlightening.

Expect to succeed even when the odds are stacked against you. We all have limits, but we don’t have to live like we have limits. #edchat #JoyfulLeaders
