If teachers are stressed, kids in their classrooms are stressed, too. We need to slow it down, go deep with our learning and enjoy the little things... #slowschoolmovement!

#Metacognition is the process of thinking about thinking. It is important in every aspect of school and life, since it involves #selfreflection on one's current position, future goals, potential actions and strategies, and results. https://t.co/IguX0GOW5c #edchat #teaching

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

The most effective classroom management strategy is strong relationships with students.

The most effective healthy #culture building strategy is strong relationships with adults.

Every day. Every encounter.
