Being focused doesn’t have to stop when the last bell rings at school. We’re also helping our students be focused, be present, and be somebody at home! That’s why we’ve teamed up with family tech experts like @titaniajordan to introduce practical ways to limit screen time!

You make learning fun and engaging! @drskaggsmms

🕒 Wait time 🕒 between asking a question and calling on someone for an answer — as well as waiting to respond to an answer — is an important strategy to include for all learners.
