@NicoleGreenNCS @NaplesCSD Loving break, but missing my friends at NCS! #naplescsd

@EBridgetAshton @MargieWrightHCS @HCSDistrict Congratulations!

@miss_crataylor This happened to me to all I needed was lunch!

A parent yelled at me. And I cried. Y’all. I have NEVER cried from being yelled at. Clearly I need a nap. Or a hug.

@SenoraChapman @NaplesCSD What a thoughtful young man!

I'm dizzy just watching!!! #naplescsd

I think I'll just sit right here. This is comfy! #naplescsd

Seriously pondering #5. Do I? Can I? Will I?

We can all make mistakes, but giving up is not one.

No water. No food. No gum. No bathroom. No talking. I thought my Ss were describing an alien planet, but it was a classroom down the hall. I was aghast. But then I checked myself, for I realized that if flipped, my room would be the alien planet. How strange school must be for Ss

Engaging students in the creation of graphic organizers increases their effectiveness, because it "shifts the intellectual responsibility" from teacher to student. edut.to/2Dedlye

Test scores capture only a fraction of what amazing teachers do. A new study finds that teachers who improve student behavior are 10 times as effective at boosting graduation rates and GPAs as teachers who raise test scores. My latest article on @edutopia: edutopia.org/article/unders…

"Stay the course. For traumatized students, the simple reliability of a structured classroom, combined with a teacher’s kind presence, can be enough to make a difference. We never know."

This will go farther in life than any peice of trivia they store in their memory.
