I'm curating a list of TED Talks for students. Do you have a favorite #TEDTalk that you use with students, especially at the beginning of the school year? #TEDEd #edusky

Excited to share “MagicSchool: TED Talks, Grit, and Growth” with @magicschoolai.bsky.social users. This tool will make starting the year even more magical. ✨#summerpd

Q8: What’s one change you'll make next year based on what you've learned about helping students transition this year? What can we do to help students academically? Socially or emotionally? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:50 AM
Q7: How do you collaborate with colleagues (next grade level, counselors, etc.) to ease student transitions? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:41 AM
Q5: How do you make space for students to say goodbye, whether to each other, to the content, or to the year itself? What does your school community do, or what do you wish they did? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Q4: What’s one lesson, habit, or mindset you hope students carry with them into the next chapter? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Q3: What assignments, projects, or activities help students reflect on their growth over the year? What do you do to celebrate endings and help students prepare for next steps? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:16 AM
A2: For Ss nervous about what’s next, I normalize those feelings, share my own experiences, and help them focus on what they can control. I also like to quote Beyoncé about her feelings of nervousness. Nerves are a good thing and mean we care. #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:12 AM
Q2: Transitions can be tough. How do you support students who are nervous or unsure about what comes next, whether it’s a new grade, school, or post-high school path? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:11 AM
A1: A strong finish means giving students time to reflect, feel proud, and recognize how far they’ve come. I wrap up with activities like “Letters to My Future Self” and peer tribute speeches. Every student gets a chance to reflect and hear kind words from a peer about them. #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:07 AM
Q1: As we approach the end of the year (or just finished), how do you wrap up the year with your students? What does "a strong finish" mean to you, and how do you help students achieve this? #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:06 AM
Our first question is about to drop! Remember, tonight’s topic is all about embracing and preparing for “Transitions” in our classrooms and schools. #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Tonight, we’ll be using the combined #engsschat. We’ll be following the Q1/A1, A2, A3 format. #sschat #engchat #edchat
May 27, 2025 at 12:04 AM
On this Memorial Day, may we remember, honor, and hold space for those who have served, especially those who gave their lives for our country. #engsschat
May 27, 2025 at 12:02 AM
Welcome to tonight’s for #engsschat. Share a picture or a gif to capture your feelings on the end of the year. #sschat #engchat #edchat
May 27, 2025 at 12:00 AM
