This year, I have managed
- To go without rewards and still have students work hard
- To go without punishment and still be respected by my students
- To shift the focus from "what's my grade?" to "what are we trying to learn?"
- To have 23 responsible students that are learning to self-advocate
- To not teach to the test, in fact, we really don't do tests but show our knowledge in a different way
- To teach study skills without boring students to tears
- To share responsibility for the room
- To have hands-on learning and still cover all of the standards
- To see growth in all of my students and even better to have them recognize it themselves
- To have students groan at the end of the day because they don't want to stop their work
- To have students discuss without raising their hand
- To not manage my students but have a classroom where we each know our part and responsibility
- To expand my family by 23 students and change
