@TimothyPShea @cultofpedagogy I will use concentric circles in my teaching because it is a way that everyone can talk to each other about their thoughts and ideas. It is one way that they have to talk, but it is not as intimidating as talking in front of the whole class. #lbcss

Social studies allows students to get to know the world around them and how to react to it. #lbcss

@TimothyPShea When things feel a bit chaotic you can fall back on the plan to help you keep going. #lbcss

@TimothyPShea When teachers are willing to focus on the students more than the grade and build a relationship with them. #lbcss
