I read Culturize @casas_jimmy this summer along with @QuitPoint Two completely different topics, but both very helpful as we move forward. #CatholicEdChat

Before diving into a syllabus, class rules, or content, consider the culture you want to model throughout the year. Taking the time early on to nurture a culture of collaboration, communication, and critical thinking will pay dividends throughout the year. #backtoschool
“Students should not fear punitive grades for the growing pains that are merely part of that process.” - @QuitPoint Why do schools continue to insist on grading in these traditional ways? How can we do better for our students?

Great talk with @drrodberger today about #QuitPoint, personalizing the learning experience, and breaking an outdated and unrealistic mentality surrounding Education. Got us fired up to wrap up the school year with an innovative approach.

I interviewed the authors of @QuitPoint & they point out that students may look “compliant” but they’re actually "effort rationing"...it’s a sign that kids need help with #resilience

Avoid the Monday morning #QuitPoint: build optimism to start the week by chunking student tasks into small and more manageable ones. Little wins stacked together lead to bigger gains the rest of the week! #Hacklearning @markbarnes19 @QuitPoint

Students are now talking reflecting in #quitpoint terms. A top student confessed to hitting a Quit Point after falling behind on AP classes. The amount of work seemed insurmountable. We made a plan to chunk the work and build his optimism towards catching up!

A question we often get is how effective can #quitpoint awareness be in helping students improve their self regulation. Today we have a better answer. My 6 yr old told my wife he talks about quit points with his friends when he sees they’re not trying hard in school @markbarnes19
I interviewed the authors of @QuitPoint & they point out that students "quit" in different ways (like not participating) Some kids show "sustained quit" while others are "effort rationing"...both are signs that kids need help with #resilience

@QuitPoint is a super book about how to help kids who show "sustained quit" as well as "effort rationing"...both are signs that kids need help with #resilience #TraumaInformed
