I learned about this chart at a recent MassCUE AI Palooza - I think it would be a great school-wide resource,everyone can reference the same scale to use with their Ss. #edusky #ditchbook #tlap @ditchthattextbook.com - I thought of you immediately and wanted to share. leonfurze.com/2024/08/28/u...

A3., We can do a newscast on various things taking place inside the school that focuses on students led by students. Students deciding on topics to cover, interviews, presentations, etc. The newscast can play for the school at a certain time of day for everyone to watch.

A2. Kids enjoy school for different reasons: some come to be loved, they all come to learn, others enjoy friendships, some enjoy being part teams, groups, etc. for learning, others enjoy being part of the whole class which becomes a family. #buildhopeedu

A1. When listening to them speak, giving them your full attention , with eye contact. Smiling and thanking them for showing up to class for the day. Let them know that they are special! #buildhopeedu

Hi, Gretchen from Kentucky joining in. #buildhopedu

A4. Everyday is a different day. You cannot save everyone. The one’s you do catch, move forward and grow., Practice improving yourself and don’t compare yourself to other’s. Lead with your heart. #buildhopeedu

A3. Maintaining balance in your life is constantly changing with fam. schedules and personal needs. In the clm, some S are harder to reach due to trauma and outside factors beyond their control. We work with each S and build rel. with them. #buildhopeedu

A2. I try to strategically design my lessons to the needs and the interests of the students. Surveying students throughout the class, helps me do that I can keep a constant knowledge on just how their interests may change. #buildhopeedu

A1. It’s important, no matter what level you are teaching, that you take the first week to get to know your students. Find out what their interests, passions, dreams, wants, curiosities, etc. Depending on the grade level, their schedule, plans for studying and homework, etc. #buildhopeedu

Hi, Gretchen from Kentucky joining in. A nice classroom culture building technique is having students bring in 5 small objects that they feel represent them and have them share and discuss them. #buildhopeedu
