Different methods work for different types of kids.  I try to deal with students on an individual level

The State Rubric is too long and vague (shocker!)

# data[].attributes.body
I try to make my classroom colorful and home like as possible

I think of each of my students as my own children and they look at me sometimes as a mother.

I love having a rubric! This way everyone is graded the

I think a smile can go a long way with anyone.

You dont have to let them know exactly how I feel about them,so I just smile and keep it to my

Totally agree.  Attitude can impact many things...not just in school or work, but in life.

Never let them see that they are getting under your skin.

# data[].attributes.body
Totally agree with the above statement. Having a

Positive attitude will promote positive altitude, you

Never know how high you can reach

# data[].attributes.body
I try different things for different students and

depending on the situation.  Many times I simply

try to show them that they are only really hurting

themselves with their behaviors....and I have been

known to get LOUD!  :)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the statement.  I think seeing the

glass as half empty or half full can have a

huge impact on your day and life.

"First, Discover Their Strengths." ~ Thomas Armstrong

# data[].attributes.body
Creating a positive environment for the more difficult special needs students can be challenging. I like how Armstrong uses animals in nature to describe creating a "least restrictive environment" to ensure their survival.

Do you think the rubric is helpful for new teachers?
