ALT Did You Know? Simple words of greetings and encouragement can dramatically improve classroom dynamics. A 2018 study found that welcoming students at the door increased academic engagement by 20 percentage points and reduced classroom disruptions by 9 percentage points. Likewise, a 2017 study concluded that prosocial activities like morning meetings can reduce disruptions by up to 75 percent. Source: Cook et al., 2018; Cook et al., 2019

📝 These sheets of paper fulfill double duty:
On one side, they're student name tags...
And on the other, they're a place for educator @saravdwerf and Ss to kick off connection!
