A1: I ask for feedback throughout the year, but at the end of the year, I ask for more specific feedback. I have kept them all for 6 years. Ss will remember some content but they will remember how we treated them more. #WeTeachuN

100% effort makes a big impact!
Used stickers to help a student with multiplication. Then she made her own. Small steps for big gains later. @dailystem #math #4thGrade

I always try to give my students mnemonic devices to remember ideas, like “cations are positive because cats are good”
And I know it works because they walk into class and say “Mr Woods, look what I found!”
