Everything he says makes sense and recognizes that kids need and crave boundaries, expectations, and accountability. Not constant exceptions to rules and shortcuts. He holds the line while also respecting others. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260991665 2018-05-15 19:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260991665 Hats Off Cards https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992120 We really like the idea of giving the students more positive reinforcement for their "good" actions]]> 2018-05-15 19:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992120 Add a personalized note to the welcome newsletter sent home over the summer https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992328 2018-05-15 19:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992328 Love being student centered! https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992486 2018-05-15 19:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992486 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992570 Body language is so important to students and teachers ]]> 2018-05-15 19:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992570 jody_otabara https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992584 Would be great to try, some content areas more conducive to it than others. Would need buy-in from students. ]]> 2018-05-15 19:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992584 Tearing down walls. This is a great idea.

This is a big statement and makes passes the buck down. Behaviors can be fixed later on, it may just be more work, more investment. ddbrenne https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992911 2018-05-15 19:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260992911 william_yaeger https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993324 IT's all in the language. ]]> 2018-05-15 19:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993324 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993338 I have never seen this in person, but would be interested to explore/observe it!

]]> 2018-05-15 19:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993338 Do believe that linking school and home is powerful. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993857 2018-05-15 19:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993857 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993977 All for using high interest literature

]]> 2018-05-15 19:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260993977 Staff need to feel good about what they're doing. I have personally experienced the difference in a workplace where folks are supportive of each other instead of protective of themselves. When people feel criticized or that praise is empty, they go into protect-mode. This is the real morale/positivity killer. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260994214

]]> 2018-05-15 19:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260994486 powerful to think about focusing on trusting students to make right decisions https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260994993 2018-05-15 19:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260994993 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995100 I had never heard of hyperlexia. I found it so interesting that I went on to search the concept further. ]]> 2018-05-15 19:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995100 Going to inquire more about this concept. I need to look at the videos more closely. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995120 2018-05-15 19:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995120 I wonder how makerspaces could be used in all content areas. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995218 2018-05-15 19:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995218 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995376 For ELA teachers, this method works best for specific reading, writing and grammar skills.  

]]> 2018-05-15 19:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995376 This sounds like another version of intrinsic motivation. Providing choices etc. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995413 2018-05-15 19:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995413 Maker spaces are great. Kids need time to build and explore materials. Too much is packaged for them. NYSSLS encourage this type of learning. ddbrenne https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995458 2018-05-15 19:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995458 Love the idea of students being trained to initiate the discussion! jhenchen3 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995724 2018-05-15 19:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995724 Very interesting, helps teachers understand individual student learning jhenchen3 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995863 2018-05-15 19:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260995863 This reminds me a lot of the connection between poverty and the brain. I know for myself I need to really adjust teaching sometimes for the way a 6th grade brain functions kimberly_cleveland https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996006 2018-05-15 19:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996006 So many great ideas to build a sense of community! https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996018 2018-05-15 19:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996018 Buy in for Hats Off- admin needs to be willing to make the calls. But, love this idea nancy_sheridan https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996172 2018-05-15 19:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996172 RTI jody_otabara https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996196 This pointed out Tier 1, 2, 3, interventions, at GCMS, are we providing these supports to students? 7th graders have more than necessary study halls, could we replace those with a skills class? ]]> 2018-05-15 19:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996196 I like the idea of personally going to each families house to invite them to parent night and to give them some books before school even starts. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996317 2018-05-15 19:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996317 RTI seems to be a good start but came become easy to get bogged down in one or two kids. william_yaeger https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996707 2018-05-15 19:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996707 https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/260996760 The idea of visiting families to give books is a great idea, but difficult to implement. I also like the idea of admin riding the buses home with the students. It would help build relationships and help give staff a good perspective on our students

At the High school I know a teacher puts this on for Staff & their little guys but it's for the moms...I like the idea of the guys bringing a male role model with them. https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/261219219 2018-05-16 13:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_harris1/mcyi1rn2ot5z/wish/261219219
