Read more about how implementing the Responsive Classroom approach helped improve the school culture and community, and resulted in a 100% decrease in suspensions for a public school in Indianapolis, IN.
@VictoriaTheTech I’m confused about these pictures, actually. I’ve never heard a public school use the term PTO, to be honest. And “owner”? Is this a private school or childcare?
Regardless, all of the pictures are alarming.
🧵 Here's a list of random little things I do as a teacher that actually have weirdly strong impacts on student behavior, engagement, and motivation.
I'd love to hear yours in the comments.

RIP, Beverly Cleary. My love of reading started because of her books. She truly made me the avid reader I am today. Her books were (and will continue to be) gifts to so many children. Beverly, you will be missed!
Happy International #SELDay!! Please continue to help spread awareness on the importance of this work with students and colleagues & don't forget to join the #SEL flash mob at 1:30pmEST by posting a message about why #SELMatters to you so we can get #SELDay trending on Twitter!!!
Literacy teachers, rethink the phrase, "Good readers/writers..." that we often use to kick off lessons. Let's be less judgmental and more specific about why a strategy is helpful for students. https://t.co/t1qyd6Kj80 @ConferringCarl @NQCLiteracy@LitConCoalition@ASCD
It takes a village to promote reading. The rewards are tremendous. A student who can read gains access to doors that lead to adventures, vistas, & new horizons that are otherwise inaccessible to the non-reader. Give your readers the gifts of curiosity, exploration, and discovery.

Thank you, Lizzy Carroll, for introducing this poem to me. What a great piece to share & discuss with students. Definitely posting, "It will be our brave space together", on my classroom door. #SEL4MA
