@amills1218 @VondaBeavers I write a poem at the end of the year with all my students' names and strengths in it, but I like this idea better because it is on display. Thanks for a great idea!

@sarahpjustice @NCSLMA Kids love #TheMagicBookBus in Rosman and TC. Take the books to your students. It makes a difference. Thanks @sarahpjustice for a great idea for our community!

[Dr. Missy West @MotivationEdD]

@DrBradJohnson I would add to call every student by his/her name as you welcome them. It is that important!

[Dr. Missy West @MotivationEdD]

@CarrieNorris76 Yes!!! If a large percentage of students need to move to Tier 2, you need to look closer at Tier 1 instruction!

No parameters. No further instructions. See what kids come up with. I have a feeling that we will realize that teachers underestimate our students every day!

[Dr. Missy West @MotivationEdD]

This summer, I have noticed how important boredom is in a child's life. Being bored stimulates creativity in kids. Teachers- How can we help this creativity and keep it going?

[Dr. Missy West @MotivationEdD]

We obviously don't want boring classrooms, but we do want students to be independently creative. What about this? One day, stop class, and say, "We need help understanding ___! You have this period to create something that will help us understand___."
