Self-regulation must be taught for many of our kids. Be intentional about coaching them on behaviors instead of thinking punishment will teach them. #kidsdeserveit#teachergoals
We talk a lot about students being engaged. It occurs to me that one of the hallmarks of a great classroom is the TEACHER being engaged. Kids love it when their teacher is active, involved, and energized. And they can tell which ones are really βinto itβ and which ones arenβt.
