5 Ways to be More Positive:
1. Practice gratitude. You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time
2. Know that this too shall pass
3. Surrender and let go instead of trying to control
4. Choose faith instead of fear
5. Meditate, Pray, Trust

If a student turns something in late, it doesn’t mean the student knows the content less.
Similarly, just because a student turned it in on time, doesn’t mean the student knows the content more.
Grade learning, not behaviors.
Schools should approach poor student choices & poor behavior from the lens of 'how can I help you’ & ‘how can I meet your unmet needs’ rather than ‘how can I punish you.' #edchat
5 tips for building class climate:
1) Talk to kids when they walk into class.
2) Learn 1 thing about each student.
3) Praise publicly and criticize privately.
4) Apologize when you need to.
5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Good teachers don’t need WiFi to engage their students. Technology is a great thing… but the passion of the teacher is always the most important variable in the classroom.
