Yes! 🙌🏻

It’s not just students that need a positive and supportive environment to grow and thrive. Adults need it too.

Prioritize student collaboration and inquiry on day one to help establish a sense of community in the classroom. edutopia.org/article/rekind…

Love the 3 options students have!

Want your students to have more confidence this upcoming school year? Please praise their efforts and not their results.

In the first days of school: It's more important that students come home excited about school than coming home knowing your classroom rules and procedures.

Mental health matters! 🙌

Definitely! 🙌 🌐 buff.ly/39HLIlB
