Our 2nd graders loved having @D11Supt here to read for #readacrossamerica week! He kicked off his shoes and made himself right at home.😁@CSSD11

Every. Single. Class... Me: Hey, guys! No one: Me: Okay, guys. I'm just going to wait a few more minutes for everyone to get on, and then we'll get started. No one: Me: Okay, guys. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen...

Today in PLC, a colleague described how she keeps a spread sheet of things that happen on screen. Like a cat walks across the screen. Instead of chiding the student, she records, “Student has a cat. Ask its name later.” That tiny little move is about relationship now and later. – at Floyds Knobs, IN

You should try to like all your students. But the challenging ones... the ones that really get on your nerves... they need to be loved.

What a gift! @teachkate and @MaggieBRoberts “read” #CCIRA19 like a mentor text, mining the learning experience for transferable practices to keep students at the center of our own classrooms. tinyurl.com/y2j5v8lb New up on CCIRA.blog!
Calmness is contagious. Remaining #calm in the face of disruptive and/or unexpected student behavior helps foster the emotional regulation skills we hope to see in our Ss. This benefits not just the child who is struggling in the moment, but everyone in our presence. #SEL #edchat
