A teacher who loves teaching: a digital ed tech enthusiast, a Google Certified Trainer, a committed dog owner, a wannabe reader & a kombucha-loving individual.
The volume of the classroom does not dictate the quality of the teacher. Learning can be loud and messy. Loud classrooms aren't necessarily managed poorly and quiet ones don't always indicate learning is happening.

Here's an MCP #TeacherHack for a feedback protocol called 'Glow and Grow.'
Learners provide:
⭐ 1 glow - something they did well
🌱 1 grow - something that they could improve on

Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

Today's task - watch the #BTN episode, answer the discussion questions and assign a #globalgoal for each story. Fantastic way to apply their knowledge and look for elements of each goal in real-life stories. #SDGs@BehindTheNews@TheGlobalGoals
