I really like these strategies that turn highlighting into deliberative and effort fun learning. I particularly like the brain-book-buddy strategy and will be trying it with my chemistry class this week. edutopia.org/article/highli…

We need to keep students engaged & empowered, not busy.

Teachers trust admins who: - follow up on commitments - bring them into decision-making when appropriate - are transparent around why decisions have been made - are direct when there's a problem - find moments to validate and praise efforts and achievements Anything else?
