Just a start-motivation wall. S listed what they do that works, what they know they should do, and what they can and are going to try to keep themselves motivated fourth quarter. So much good happening already. Can’t wait to see what they can accomplish.
I have so far to go with my grading pratices. I feel like I’m starting over on this journey. Anyone been in these trenches that would be willing to provide some direction/support?
My biggest take-away from PD today came from my 10-year-old who saw my wrist band and asked fifty questions.I said I wanted to learn to be a better teacher. “I wish I could have fun every day while learning to be better at what I like doing.” That’s what school should be. #SOFICI
Teachers are SIX times more engaged & effective when they feel valued & that their strengths are utilized in their school, yet 80% don't feel they are. Imagine what dynamic school cultures and student success could be achieved if all teachers felt valued and supported!
@coolcatteacher Poverty simulation. I was given the role of a teenager and watched from “school” as we got evicted. I didn’t care about the $10 for a T-shirt I was supposed to bring the next day. I’ve never forgotten that.
