I will say this with absolute certainty: spending the first few classes pulling each student aside, talking to them individually, and getting to know them and their interests is the best “classroom management” hack there is.
We had so much fun at our Summer Reading celebration today! Our school had over 80 READCamp Champions and MVPs, who read over 1,000 books over the summer! We’re so proud of our Sea Turtles! #hcslibrarymedia#livingourbestlife
It's Hashtags time! Inspired by this week's guest co-host @ddlovato, send us things you're not sorry for and tag it with #SorryNotSorry. Could be on the show!
The teacher pay gap hit a record high in 2021, according to a new report from @economicpolicy. The teacher retention crisis is only getting worse and children are suffering for it.

@EWebster121 We have some common language embedded in our lifeskills , pledge, target talk, etc. I think, as we move deeper into SEL, we will see we have much of what we need, just expectations, how we model, teach may be the tweaks we have to make. #BESPLC@EWebster121@KelleyAlford15
@SamanthaLCoy A5: My top goal is to help all stakeholders understand and be able to implement SEL, for themselves and for the young people we spend our days with. #BESPLC
@SamanthaLCoy We can strengthen our adult climate by taking time to think through the situation before reacting. Sometimes we see that it is our own issues that caused the problem. Even when it is not our issues, we must learn to stop, breathe, not lash out. Hard to do, sometimes. :) #BESPLC
@SamanthaLCoy (A3) If we think about the time we spend reacting to behaviors, I think we will find that we have more time for children to learn if SEL is the frontloaded learning. If they know how and why, more will do. #BESPLC
A1: My strength is responsible decision making. I'm such a rule follower! My weakness is relationship skills. Being an introvert, this has been a lifelong work in progress. #besplc
