This is actually being taught at Drexel? I want to vomit.
THREAD: Behaviour – Just putting together some thoughts for our trainees and new teachers. I’ve tried to think about the most common mistakes I still see when it comes to managing behaviour. I've found doing this really useful for me as well.
So education providers should really consider committed teachers outside the US-EU dominance when they price their courses. It's already difficult to pay for them in euros/dollars/pounds. So keep us in mind if you want more diversity in your cohort.
First, they extended the school year by two weeks. Then, they announced students could substitute their first term grades for their second term grades. Then, they decided ALL schools would open for the final four weeks. Now they are saying the last two weeks are optional.
5 schedule changes later- I finally missed starting an online lesson due to looking at the wrong schedule 🙃
Very excited to be able to participate- especially excited that my first chat corresponds with the new hashtag! #MLLChat_BkClub
Not much can make me feel better than a student saying “Today is good. I like this lesson.” after a grammar-focused class. :)
I saw this tweet and tried it out today- kids really enjoyed it. The lesson started on a very positive note ☀️

(2nd) First day of blended-synchronous-hybrid teaching and... yeah, it was awful.

My school is starting synchronous-hybrid lessons next week. They also increased the class group sizes. And added more lesson blocks. Make it make sense.
This has been my ongoing struggle this entire year- especially during virtual/hybrid classes with young learners. I’ve spent almost the whole day re-formatting and organizing the way I give homework feedback... for probably the 5th time this year 🙃🙃🙃
First day back after three weeks of holiday... 7 (online) lessons back-to-back... my “desk” sums up how I’m feeling
Coming from America, the use of WhatsApp to broadcast important messages in work groups is absolutely crazy to me. I am going absolutely crazy.
I’ve spent a year thinking about this blog. It’s not been the easiest to write, some of this goes against the grain and challenges how some schools function. But here it is #edutwitter. Not a #WomenEd blog but definitely requires me to be #10%braver! mrsmsteachertalk.school.blog/2020/12/27/gam…
This is the most ✨me✨ statement I have ever read
This is the most ✨me✨ statement I have ever read
In my virtual EFL classes, some students always defer to their parents for translation and validation. I feel like it is stunting their ability to autonomously interact with the language. Any tips for building confidence and independence in EFL learners in the virtual space?
We are six weeks into school and students are still having problems with Google Classroom... Despite what the admin has said, I really don’t feel confident that the families were appropriately prepared/coached for online classes.
