T Kathryn Bechdoldt's message to Ss is loud and clear:
ALT "Tell your students in many ways that you care about them. Don't expect them to figure it out. Say it right out loud and then show it over and over." —Teacher Kathryn Bechdoldt
ALT “Being bilingual isn’t a barrier. Having an accent isn’t a challenge. Thinking in a different language first isn’t a complication. Bilingualism is an asset, not a deficit.” —Andréa Rodriguez, Educator
Detour Alert 🚨 RIPTA will detour forty bus routes in the @ProvidenceRI area from September 6 through September 8, 2024 to accommodate @PVDFest. All bus stops in Kennedy Plaza will be temporarily relocated to Dyer Street. For details, visit: RIPTA.com/PVDFest
ALT What Works for Me: “I asked ChatGPT to write an essay on the theme of fear in Macbeth. I gave it to my seniors and told them I’d probably score it a D. Their job was to redeem it. C level added quotes and better syntax. B level had to thoroughly expand. Most chose the ‘A’ option: not look at the ChatGPT essay and write their own. It helped them to see how simplistic the AI is, unless they’re sophisticated in programming it.” —Kristen Brewer, Educator
