Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it. #quote #quoteoftheday

Did you catch this post about Read-Aloud with HEART from the #g2great chat last week?
This week, authors Dana Clark, Keisha Smith-Carringon and Jigisha Vyas joined our #g2great chat to discuss their K-2 edition of Read-Aloud with HEART. It was an absolute honor to write this blog reflection! @quiche36 @MsJVyas @DanaClarkLit LINK literacylenses.com/2023/08/r…

The real secret to effective management in the classroom is creating personal relationships with each student. Listen to students, understand their situation, and make decisions based on their perspective. It’s the key to preventing #ThatOneKid from disrupting learning.

Stay personally connected to kids without taking personally what they do & say. It’s not about you. It’s about 10 (or more) things going on in their world. They take it out on us bc we are often the 1st ones they see, but it’s not about you. #thatonekid
