Ever heard a student say, "When will I ever use math?"

P @kellyparksocs's school community offers these real-world examples to spark answers!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Disappointment comes from knowing things could be better. Gratitude flows from knowing things could be worse.

We don't control events, but we do choose our outlook. Where we focus shapes how we feel.

For most people in most places, this is the best time in history to be alive.

@TheTeacherRoom we can't figure out how to project the answers in the code books. Any idea if this is possible in the new version?

Students are different and differentiate instruction makes a difference… as do healthy snacks!
Engagement matters - teach to their interests
Momentum matters
Reading a whole book matters
Reading makes it possible to take care of yourself
The world opens up for students who read

[Danielle Dixon @SPEDucatorsRock]

Our students come with a big bag of negative feelings about reading so we have to keep pluggin away to reshape their beliefs
I’m seeing improvement from last year
Ability to read improves confidence

[Danielle Dixon @SPEDucatorsRock]

Our @KKPCA1 Read 180 Teachers are gathered today and these are our beliefs about reading: All students can all get better
All students can grow, and it helps to have a growth mindset and openness to know they can learn

[Danielle Dixon @SPEDucatorsRock]

This #MentoringMonday wisdom seems timely! Many classrooms are now comfortable with One Teach/One Assist - now it's time to heat it up a notch! Two teachers increase our options to teach and assess - let's use manpower wisely! #SPEDucatorsrock #inclusion #spedchat
