Try this survey to boost student voice and support strong positive identities in math.
There is so much to appreciate about teachers, from your long hours on the job to the care and compassion you extend to students daily. But those who aren’t in the profession don’t always know how much heart and how much work goes into a typical day in the classroom.
In last week’s Teacher Appreciation Week slowchat hosted by teachers Lyndsay Nottingham and Sarah Thomas, we asked what you wish more people appreciated about the teaching profession. Read on for 15 of the Teacher2Teacher community’s responses and share your own in the comments below.
Every week, teachers Lyndsay Nottingham and Sarah Thomas host the #T2TChat on Twitter. Featuring questions on everything from technology to students to lesson planning, it’s a weeklong slowchat where teachers can share their ideas and learn from their peers all over the country. Don’t miss this week’s chat on end-of-year celebrations—use #T2TChat to join in the conversation. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter if you don’t already!
