Giving students randomly assigned roles in teams—such as manager, scribe, and speaker—helps ensure that they all participate.

Being kind is something that we can never do enough of! https://t.co/AH5ZituXtf

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

When you win, be kind.
When you are ignored, be kind.
When you are stuck, be kind.
When you are upset, be kind.
When disappointed, be kind.
When you are in doubt, be kind.
When you are scared, be kind.

Being kind is not a sign of weakness. Kindness will always serve you well.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

If you love someone, tell them now.

If you miss someone, connect with them.

If you appreciate someone, show them.

If you made a mistake, apologize.

If you want to feel lighter, forgive first.

If you are confused, ask more questions.

If you are stuck, ask others for help.
