Feedback is not about sizing people up. It's about helping them grow.
78 studies: criticism is more motivating when you (a) meet face-to-face; (b) compare behavior to a standard, not to others; (c) suggest changes to make.
People want to improve when it's clear that you care.
Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.
Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.
Everyone loves to hear their name.
EDUCATORS: Did you know that, in addition to my two activity books, I have ~200 FREE activities at my website? You can incorporate them into lessons/units, use them for creative breaks/soft starts, or just make them available for interested kids. ENJOY!

Shoutout to all the teachers. Credentialed or not. Licensed or not. Graduate degree or not. The ones who makes souls sing and help us to pursue the best versions of ourselves. You are deeply appreciated #HipHopEd#TeacherAppreciationWeek
When a student gives an incorrect answer, putting mistake analysis into action turns it into a learning opportunity. This week my guest @ColinESeale shows us how it's done.

Daddy: What do all these shapes have in common?
Me: They're all quadrilaterals.
Daddy: Why?
Me: Because they all have 4 sides.
Daddy: They do all have 4 sides.
