Have a student you're struggling with?
Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:
For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in.
Wonderfully simple and wildly effective.

Sometimes constructive feedback hurts. It hits you in the gut and knocks the air out of you.
It doesn’t just feel personal, it is personal.
Remember though, if someone is willing to take the time to provide you honest, timely, and actionable feedback, they care about you.
Prepping your classroom for the new year? Plan to #ditchtheclip & eliminate the ineffective clip chart. Instead, focus on having clear classroom expectations that you can teach and regularly acknowledge. Get LARGE signage of them and prep yourself to use the language regularly!
I'm comfortable giving a student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the #student who only needed 1 attempt.
'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
“So next time “that” student is driving you insane, try to remember, “that” student is “your student” and your student wants to be a part of your class.”
