Well browsing on Twitter last night I came across two different posts regarding education that I thought were valuable to me and wanted to share with others.
1) The first was about how we can use different ways to assess our students. The teacher posted a large piece of paper in the classroom (next to a door) and gave every student a pack of sticky notes. Students could leave a sticky note on their way out the door regarding questions, concerns, or even concepts they didn't understand. This could be a great resource for teachers as well because they too can assess how they can develop their next lesson. I hope to use this in my future classroom for communicating with students.

2) The second article I read was entitled "How Do You Make Instructional Decisions". It talked about how a lot of times in the classroom teachers fall into the pit of "When I was a kid, this is how I learned it". We need to remind ourselves throughout the day that what worked for us as a student may not be the same style of learning for other children. Teachers make over a thousand decisions a day. We need to choose how we will make decisions in our classroom and learning environment.
