The best schools don't focus all their energy on intervention programs; instead, they focus on strong tier 1 instruction to limit the need of intervention programs. #edchat#education
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 “into it” & which ones aren’t.
When I think back on my teachers who were most effective, there is something they all had in common: they all seemed EXCITED to be teaching us. Teachers should always be aware of the attitude and energy they bring into class. I promise you, the students are aware of it.
"The inclination to learn from life itself and to make the conditions of life such that all will learn in the process of living is the finest product of schooling." - John Dewey
