THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK!
"HOW WE RESPOND WHEN STUDENTS COME TO US FOR HELP MAY DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS COME TO US AGAIN."

Something to think about....
1. What makes a teacher approachable? Are you always approachable?
2. Identify factors that get in the way of students seeking the help they need.
3. What more can you do to increase the likelihood that students will come to you when they need help?
4. What recommendations could you offer students if they need to back up and attain prerequisite knowledge in order to be successful in your classroom?
5. What teacher actions can make it clear to students that you will work with them as a joint problem-solver?

Congratulations Mrs. Clay, Mrs. Gooden, and Mrs. Mann on creating your own blog. I am very proud of you and your effort to use knowledge gained from professional development days to improve your classroom instruction.
