Really excited session! We hope you will join us!

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Raising awe seekers: Awe expands attention, increases curiosity, & makes learners more open to new ideas. Invite “whoa” moments, encourage big questions, and let students share what amazed them. When awe is nurtured, learning becomes deeper, more meaningful, & joyful.

Here is your one-stop shop for all TEP SIG-sponsored events at #AERA2026! We are so looking forward to sunny Los Angeles, and hope to see you there!🌞

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Self-affirmation works: When students quietly affirm to themselves what matters most—who they are and what they value—they feel more grounded and confident, specially before stressful work. A short writing prompt can strengthen focus and resilience.

🍎 Teaching Tip Tuesday (T3) Get inspired by how people learn around the world—through forest schools in Finland, structured debate in Tibetan monasteries, and apprenticeship in craft communities. Try outdoor lessons, student-led questioning, or learning-by-doing to enrich everyday teaching.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) No more boring classes! Support autonomy, connect learning to purpose, and balance challenge with support. Offer meaningful choices, vary activities, and invite student voice. When students feel agency and relevance, boredom gives way to engagement.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Creativity through questions: Learning deepens when students generate their own questions. Make space for wondering, highlight explanation-seeking questions, and treat questions as tools for thinking, not interruptions.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Feedback literacy in action: Go beyond giving feedback and teach students how to use it. Build judgment with examples, normalize emotional reactions, and ask students to name one next step. Learning improves when feedback guides future action.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Teaching for transfer: Transfer is when students apply learning beyond a single task or context. Support it by building clear mental models, varying practice, and asking “Where else might this apply?” Small prompts help students see knowledge as flexible and reusable.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Metacognition in action Help students think about their thinking. Ask before: “How will you approach this?” During: “What’s making sense right now?” After: “What will you try differently next time?” These simple prompts build stronger, more independent learners.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Neuroplasticity in the classroom Teach students that effort reshapes the brain. Encourage them to select what matters, shift away from distractions, use spaced practice, and build brief focus routines. Small habits strengthen new pathways and lasting learning.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) [Snow delay! ❄️] Promote Flow in Class Balance challenge with skill, set clear goals, & protect short blocks of focused work. Add quick, specific feedback and use 8–12 min sprints. These small structures can help students stay present, energized, & deeply engaged.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Building Belonging in Online Courses A short welcome video, warm check-ins, personal responses, and small collaborative tasks all build trust. Add timely next-step guidance to help students feel supported and part of a real learning community.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Strengthen learning with retrieval! Swap re-reading for quick recall. Try a 2-min brain dump, a no-stakes quiz, or ask students to "explain without notes." These simple routines help students pull knowledge from memory and build strong, more durable learning.

Hard to believe the semester is almost over! Our exit ticket today in Achievement Motivation was to make a mind map of everything we learned this semester. They only had 20 minutes and didn't finish yet, but I loved this activity and wanted to share them. 😍 @zachbaquet.bsky.social 1/4

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Reducing cognitive load! Organize materials so students aren’t juggling too much at once. Pair visuals with explanations, break tasks into steps, use worked examples, & cut redundancy. Small design choices free up attention for real understanding.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Promoting autonomy in thinking! Ask students to explain their reasoning, compare ideas, & explore multiple approaches. A simple shift from, “What do you choose?” to “How are you thinking about this?” can build deeper engagement and independent learning ✨

Incredibly excited about a special issue @chrisrozek.bsky.social and I are editing on SCHOOL BELONGING with Ed Psych Review! 🎉 The first paper is out! Once published, all papers can be found here: link.springer.com/collections/... I’ll update this thread when each article gets posted ⬇️

We're eager to dive in to this great resource on education policy: livehandbook.org. Thank you to @aefpweb.bsky.social for putting it together and to @the74.bsky.social for featuring.

The next article in our special issue is out! Lopez et al. @falopeziglesias.bsky.social synthesized 22 studies and created a theoretical model for thinking about Latine youth, their ethnic-racial identity, school belonging, and asset-based pedagogy: doi.org/10.1007/s106... @aera-motsig.bsky.social

It's about halfway through the semester! Today our T3 is about social-emotional learning. While most of our work as scholars involves academic learning, social-emotional learning is equally important and helps students perform better and gives them key skills to navigate the complexities of life.

New episode out! This week we bring @roberttalbert.bsky.social back on the pod to discuss how AI is impacting his classes and his methods of assessing and grading. Check it out! thegradingpod.com/episodes/87-...

Happy Teaching Tuesday! This time, we're excited to share with you about mindfulness and how we as teachers can promote student mindfulness in our classroom. We can also apply many of these practices to our own lives! Email [email protected] or [email protected] to suggest your own T3!

Happy Teaching Tuesday! (on a Thursday, we listen and we don't judge 🙂) Today's T3 is about being transparent with students about what, why, and how they will learn course content, which emphasizes the learning partnership between you and your students!

Happy Teaching Tuesday! Given the social nature of many learning activities, especially project-based learning, today we want to share with you a tip on how to help students socially regulate their learning when collaborating in groups!

Happy Monday and happy spring semester! In advance of posting our Teaching Tuesday Tip (T3) tomorrow, we’d love to share our previous T3s to support you as you begin teaching and researching this semester. We post every 2 weeks, so stay tuned for more teaching tips! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
