Kids don't learn from teachers they don't like. Connection is key!! #whywisd #connectb4content

[V. Stratmann @StratClass]

Administrators only have 3 options for dealing with behaviors: OSS, ISS, Detention Hall. That means they only have a 33% chance of "getting it right" according to teacher expectations. #connectb4content #whywisd

[V. Stratmann @StratClass]

Keys to being a GREAT teacher: Connect before Correct and before Content!! Relationships are KEY!! #connectB4content @Alkren62

Don't be afraid to learn along side of your students. You don't have to be a master before handing it over to students. #whywisd #whymme
