Communicate MY Way

Especially important in these covid times. I am hearing impaired. I can't hear unless I have the visual support of the speaker. Masks take away about 75% of my hearing. So, when I say "huh?" "Sorry, say it again", I am looking for visual support. Use your fingers at the very least to tell me the number you might be using. I'll get into alphabet later. But let's start with numbers... This would be incredibly useful during my workouts #OTF #orangetheoryfitness when calling out the percentage of the climb. Here's 1-10, i'll do another video of 11-20..

We need to explicitly teach compassion. It's it inherent. We need to give the words to use and actions that go with them, body language & how to be tender. Some know this without it being taught, but but the few that need solid examples are who we need to reach. Imagine how fantastic kids will feel after a month of AOK'S (Acts Of Kindness). Wow

For over 40 years this school has been teaching in 2 languages. It creates its own learning material in the #Indigenous Murrinh-patha language. #ReconciliationWeek #IYIL2019

This is so well worded. I wish I could go back and alter the way I was teaching my classes when I started. I was always stressed that I had c-students, and instead of embracing them, I was trying to make them b-students. This is no necessary, as everyone makes it into the real world, with the skills they have, they all belong somewhere, and all valuable. We need to express that value at an early age all the way through school. This sentiment of confidence is what is going to create a solid foundation for success, not being an a-student! Embrace them where they're at!

Omg! So what CMW is about! Differentiated learning, allow them to build strategies that work for them to get to the end, yes
