My first attempt at co creating success criteria with my US honors students. Awesome way to set expectations in a way that feels manageable to students
Rave Review was a hit in AP Human Geo today! The @shadygrovekisd literacy coach and I collaborated on this lesson and the elementary energy was just what my kids needed for high engagement!
If you are a teacher, know a teacher, or care about teachers— please consider taking 1-minute to encourage your representative to sponsor the #AmericanTeacherAct by emailing or calling them— it’s now or never. Just use this link: https://t.co/nvBXteVNLi

If we want to improve student relationships across campus we have to prioritize supporting teachers (& particularly new teachers) and providing them the tools necessary to be able to (comfortably!) do their jobs
Teacher retention = Consistency = Stronger Student Relationships 💯
Our first annual Early National Period “Friendsgiving” was a success! I’m always impressed with these students creativity when you give them an opportunity to show it!
Effective leaders know to create the best team that you have to spend time with the team. And that doesn't mean long weekly meetings, but daily in the hallways, classrooms, bus line, cafeteria, etc.
Effective leaders understand that teachers are the most important factor in student success in the classroom. More than technology, curriculum, and even the leaders themselves. Therefore, they appreciate and value teachers so they will be most effective for their students!
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.
We love a Friday game of trashketball‼️🏀 Students had to recall the first ten amendments (bill of rights) AND make it in the trash can to earn a point per amendment 🏆
