To clarify for people concerned with the cost of school budget votes and board elections. 100% absentee school budget and board elections was mandated by executive order of the Governor . Schools were not given any other option.
Here's a handy word to know: curvilinear. In education research, it means that results are best in the middle - the "Goldilocks zone." For example, studying too little leaves students unprepared, but studying too much cuts into sleep, play, and family time, undermining success.
Red, yellow, and green cups; pickle jars; beehives; clothespins.... it is time for to do more then reinforce compliance. How can your classroom evolve?
Small action with a small huge impact on classroom and school culture. A manager would send this to staff... a leader would model by greeting staff the next morning ( at least) on the way into the building...
A new study finds that greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20%, reduces disruptions by 9% -- effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. My latest article on @edutopia https://t.co/ht527kM5nP
Is it better to solve problems in isolation or by collaborating with others?
Harvard research says . . . neither.
The best solutions come from "intermittent collaboration" -- group work punctuated by breaks to think & work by ourselves.
