Students love coming to school for different reasons. Make sure you’re one of the reasons. Be compassionate, kind, caring, & understanding. Someone they know has their back and also wants the best for them, so you get the best from them.

"It is the ways of thinking that are rich, not the task itself" (John Mason). The influence of teacher pedagogical moves - a good teacher can take an ordinary task and make it great, a weaker teacher can take a great task and make it ordinary. #NCTM2018 #MTBoS @teacher2teacher
