Teachers, you’re allowed to teach with joy. When you bring your passion into the classroom, it shows and it sticks. Teach the standards, yes, but do it in a way that lights you up. Chances are, it’ll light something up in your students too.

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

Interventions work best when students are grouped by need across classrooms and staff members are assigned by expertise.  This is a much more efficient and effective way to intervene, in comparison to each teacher keeping her/his own students. – at Florida, USA

The distinction between formative and summative #assessment is more than just whether a teacher assigns a grade. This handy table from Assessment as a Catalyst for Learning breaks down the characteristics of each. @MandyStalets @garnet_hillman
