To summarize: The 5-Hour Rule for Continuous Growth.

Invest at least 1 hour per weekday—5 hours per week—in learning.

• Reading
• Practicing a new skill
• Experimenting
• Reflecting

At the end of each day, always ask: What did I learn today?

Embrace lifelong learning!

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Have a student you're struggling with?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the student about anything the student is interested in.

Wonderfully simple and wildly effective.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

I will say this with absolute certainty: spending the first few classes pulling each student aside, talking to them individually, and getting to know them and their interests is the best “classroom management” hack there is.

This is important! 🙌

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When admin do “walk throughs”… “pop-ins”… whatever you wanna call it…

… they should be reminded that teaching is hard.

If admin ever loses sight of that fact, they will also lose their ability to provide meaningful support.
