"I have never taught a perfect lesson and probably never will.  If you can have a growth mindset in your teaching, not expect perfection, and continually strive to get better, you will be just fine."

We need to spend less time berating students and more time recognizing them and building them up.
#HackingSchoolDiscipline

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

What not to do:

"Do you understand what you did was wrong?"

Student: "Yes"

🔊We need open-ended questions that don't have yes and no answers to get the students talking and learn about the why behind the behavior. #HackingSchoolDiscipline
