We couldn't be more proud of @NewVistaHS rising senior & volunteer junior ski patroller Malachi Brooks.

He helped save the life of a skier who fell while attempting to ski Skywalker Couloir in the Indian Peaks Wilderness earlier this month. #BVSDproud

The T-A-G Peer Feedback scaffold provides small steps for those introducing feedback in their classrooms. Making T-A-G sentence starters visible will also help encourage student-to-student coaching.

Circles build capacity for students in our classroom to have just about any conversation, especially those important and emotional ones (i.e., restorative).

📊Research has found that classrooms differ a great deal in quality of discussions--and those differences impact comprehension development. Please see below for examples of differences. For a self-assessment and guide to quality talk about text, see https://t.co/hWnyoFVV17

"One 'move' I made that enhanced my PBL teaching was developing the classroom project wall into an active teaching tool rather than a bulletin board."

Learn how a project wall can make thinking visible and support open-ended inquiry in your classroom. https://t.co/gHLvVvyqy2
