We love a Friday game of trashketball‼️🏀 Students had to recall the first ten amendments (bill of rights) AND make it in the trash can to earn a point per amendment 🏆

Have a student you're struggling with? Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy: For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the student about anything the student is interested in. Wonderfully simple and wildly effective.

Effective leaders understand that teachers are the most important factor in student success in the classroom. More than technology, curriculum, and even the leaders themselves. Therefore, they appreciate and value teachers so they will be most effective for their students!

Lessons on kindness are just as important as academic ones. 💯 #teacherchat #educhat

Effective leaders know to create the best team that you have to spend time with the team. And that doesn't mean long weekly meetings, but daily in the hallways, classrooms, bus line, cafeteria, etc.

If a student can go an entire school day without having a single interaction with a teacher it is safe to say that their classes are too big.

Our first annual Early National Period “Friendsgiving” was a success! I’m always impressed with these students creativity when you give them an opportunity to show it!

Gratitude calendars are my favorite relationship building activity! ❤️

If we want to improve student relationships across campus we have to prioritize supporting teachers (& particularly new teachers) and providing them the tools necessary to be able to (comfortably!) do their jobs Teacher retention = Consistency = Stronger Student Relationships 💯

Louder for the people in the back! 📣

If you are a teacher, know a teacher, or care about teachers— please consider taking 1-minute to encourage your representative to sponsor the #AmericanTeacherAct by emailing or calling them— it’s now or never. Just use this link: equitydallas.org/the-american-t…

Rave Review was a hit in AP Human Geo today! The Shady Grove Elementary literacy coach and I collaborated on this lesson and the elementary energy was just what my kids needed for high engagement!

Non-technology heads up in AP Human Geo this morning! 😂 it doesn’t always have to be high tech for high engagement!

My first attempt at co creating success criteria with my US honors students. Awesome way to set expectations in a way that feels manageable to students
