When students see that the teachers are loving what they are doing and energetic, then they will respond positively in the classroom. ]]> 2018-11-12 13:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303240230 Ron Clark kmcdermid4 https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303281418 I would love to continue to find ways to excited and motivate the learning, as per Ron Clark. I would love to read The Wild Card by Hope and Wade King, two of Ron's teachers. It think it will have some more ideas to engage students in fun and creative ways!

I want to continue to improve the way I teach my students, making sure I am not rushing through lessons in order to just get the task done. ]]> 2018-11-12 18:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303401249 Dave Mochel tlabarre1_2 https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303464253  I have ordered Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Dr. Kristin Neff.  So many of our under-performing students beat themselves up.  We need to teach them to be their own champions as they raise the bar academically.]]> 2018-11-12 20:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303464253 Kelly Hincks https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303563535 After listening to How Do You See It? and Make, Think, Do: K-3 Design Thinking there was an emphasis on getting our students to understand how others are feeling or see the problem from another point of view. I am going to explore ways to provide students multiple perspectives through books as well as adding a "feel" element to how we teach the research process. ]]> 2018-11-13 04:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303563535 Dave Mochel achrumka https://padlet.com/dcds/z9im2hlkaen2/wish/303679178 I want to continue to learn about the power of gratitude and mindfulness/attention. Studies have shown significant improvement in self-compassion after just 6 weeks (3 times/week) of connecting with gratitude.
