Humans are hardwired to forget. But strategies like peer-to-peer explanations, regular review, and interleaving can boost retention, research shows.

Simply giving a kid a consequence does not get to the root cause and will likely not change a behavior. We have to go deeper. 🙌

READING FOR PLEASURE CHANGES LIVES! But how do we get kids to do it? Research shows these are the 3 most crucial factors:
1. Read aloud to them.
2. Give them the widest possible range of books to choose from.
3. Let them choose freely, and never dismiss their choices.

While there is a time and place for quiet in learning, it really should be more active, collaborative, and engaging.

Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

If you want to succeed with a difficult kid… you have to separate the attitude from the student. You don’t lower your standards, but you understand that there is always something motivating the behavior. Understanding leads to empathy… and empathy makes relationships possible.
