Here are some treasures I found around the Twittersphere and social media this week...
* I believe that every classroom should have a library (even a shelf of accessible students is great!). My teacher friend in Tennessee recently blogged 12 Tips for Building a Beautiful Classroom Library-there are some phenomenal ideas here!
* Gotta love Edutopia and this piece titled, "The Work of Welcoming." Lots of simple strategies (with valuable links to online resources!) to build community and make students feel welcome and safe in the classroom.
* Wondering how to "make it (the learning, of course) stick?" Check out these awesome sketchnotes and chapter summaries of the book, "Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning."
* Please check out these recently published pieces by Hawaii educators who I also get to call my friends! They are not only amazing people and teachers, but beautiful writers as well:
- Teaching Saves My Life Every Single Day by Christina Torres
- Create a Culture for Teacher Talent Development by Lorna Baniaga-Lee
- Here's Why Arts Education is Worth Fighting For by Lory Peroff
