Had students use the app Emoji Me to create an avatar. Then had them answer some questions for parents to listen to at conferences. They used @ChatterPixIt to read their conference sheet and then posted to @Seesaw. They’re displayed in the hall with QR code. #husky212

How do you think about the impact of what you do? #Visiblelearning

School culture is not about the big things; it’s about the little things. It’s about the thoughtful gestures... and the high fives... and the silly jokes between staff members... and the conversations with kids in the hallways... and all the smiles. Don’t ever forget the smiles!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When we take time to build relationships with the adults around us, it doesn’t really have anything to do with student achievement. But it has EVERYTHING to do with culture. And in the right culture, teachers will thrive, students will thrive... and the achievement will increase.
