@gcouros Thank you for everything you said at #TNASSP2024! I love the challenge to “learn in a way that you would expect from your students.”

Our students have become extremely invested in our Stocking Stuffer Challenge! Classes are rewarded for meeting our attendance goals of being in class on time and staying in class! @DrHatchett_LHS

Last week during #LHSTime, we focused on developing high expectations, one of our core values. At the end of the lesson, Ms. Adolfson invited students to share their expectations for the year. It’s gonna be a great year @LHSintheNews!

This is very true, especially for Behavior. I have been very thankful for the focus and support on Tier 1 at my school this year. https://t.co/7gtfQalRrY

Love this! It’s so important for students to see their culture represented at school. You see them come alive in a whole new way. https://t.co/okqX2TKjkT

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately in regards to the teaching profession. Send a teacher some love and let them know you appreciate everything they are doing. https://t.co/GMEOKbDJ9h

No small act of kindness is wasted in the world of education. We plant seeds every day through positive interactions with students. Some seedlings grow into full trees, and other fail to flourish. The difference is that Jadav Payeng built a daily habit th…https://t.co/3v5zRFLr8n

This is my notebook that helps me keep track of my restorative conversations. One of my regulars said, “I love when you pull out your notebook because it makes me feel like I’m being listened to.” Listening is one of the best gifts we can give to other pe…https://t.co/8S9yvlcEyQ

This is definitely a trend that I have seen and felt. We know that that the data is different pre-pandemic and post-pandemic. What do you think is the reason for the difference? How would you summarize it? https://t.co/rYYjAwKSCA

When I sit with students, I sometimes recognize they need a boundary in a relationship The next question I ask them is: was boundaries do you need to set in this relationship? Often they don’t know what a boundary is or how to ask for one. Sometimes when…https://t.co/pOiYQumRQX

What’s not good about acknowledging students who are doing the right thing? A little candy goes a long way…even in high school! #PBIS #highschool #innovationineducation https://t.co/5pVcdSDMBT
