The Missing Piece to #Elementary#FactFluency

This week call / text ur most challenging kid (& parent). Say, “I hope you’re having a great holiday & look forward to seeing u when school starts.” Literally takes 2 min. Reaching kids no one else reaches = doing things others won’t do. Relationships 1st.

Lasting change requires "team", not individuals.
