Words of Encouragement

As educators return to their jobs, we need words of encouragement for the school year ahead.  One is a video from Rita Pearson. “Every kid needs a champion” https://www.ted.com/talks/rita_pierson_every_kid_needs_a_champion?language=en

Another one is a video by Mike Morenz: https://www.facebook.com/mike.morenz/videos/10153124017336716/?pnref=story

Another one is a video final project created by a student: “Before the Bell Rings”: https://vimeo.com/121433500

Edutopia http://www.edutopia.org  is an excellent source for educators on all types of topics.

Edutopia for Educators

If you have not visited Edutopia, you should.  A wonderful resource for different and innovative ways of teaching and learning.  Some of the resources/topics that I find particularly useful are on project based learning, assessments and technology integration.  However, there is a topic for every educator for every grade level.  Visit Edutopia and join its learning community!
