What strategies have you used for students who have an exceptionally long way to go in one year?]]> 2019-03-12 14:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340443751 framtooke https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340444314 "How do I raise the self-esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time?"

I'm talking about the student who purposely comes late to be in A5 than in class.

If both are an issue, self-esteem should be fixed first. This will then lead to academic achievement as a result. ]]> 2019-03-12 15:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340489732 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340490125 I noticed that yesterday, most of my messages were "reprimanding."  Today I want to make sure my message is positive at every interaction.  For example, instead of "Open your book," instead of "Start answering," I want to try asking, "What do you think about the problem we're working on?" Or, "I noticed that on Monday, you got to work right away.  I am so proud of you for stepping it up."]]> 2019-03-12 15:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340490125 framtooke https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340490462 The more I ask myself this question the more that I think that there is no single "right" answer. I think bringing in variety to the classroom is the best bet at connecting with a variety of students-- i.e. one day might be reading focused, one day might have an art project, etc. ]]> 2019-03-12 15:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340490462 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340491682 I just have to keep trying different things until something clicks with a student. ]]> 2019-03-12 16:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340491682 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340491814 2019-03-12 16:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340491814 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492395 Often students who think they are bad at math have parents who say, "She's always been bad at math." So we have to not only re-message what the student says to herself, but also counter what she has heard about herself her entire life. I try really hard to emphasize hard work linked to achievement, e.g., showing students some really good 3x5 cards or telling them, " I'm so proud of you, I've seen you working hard."]]> 2019-03-12 16:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492395 jpilar https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492718 I've heard from several students that A5 is "boring because you're not allowed to do anything."

Maybe try to find out why they prefer to be in a boring setting. If we make the class more engaging/interesting than A5, then maybe they'll begin to prefer the class over A5.]]> 2019-03-12 16:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492718 framtooke https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492757 This is a little thing, but when grading tests I always use purple or green pen instead of red pen because there is some interesting research that shows we tend to be harsher graders in red pen. I find the fun colors helpful in reminding me to give positive feedback.  ]]> 2019-03-12 16:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340492757 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340493113 Find out what interests a child and where those interest might lead them. ]]> 2019-03-12 16:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340493113 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340493805 2019-03-12 16:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340493805 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340494800 2019-03-12 16:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340494800 https://padlet.com/framtooke/18thb2dxav14/wish/340495887 I used to separate students if they are friends.
