What a great start for a new school year. Thank you Dr. Archer.
Some of her tips include:
- Set expectations, tell students that they need to learn how to be your students.
- Allow students opportunity to practice the expectations. (Tell them, model, practice, repeat)
- Don't ever assume, pre-teach all areas that may need attention.
- Allow students (gentle) re-dos to fix problems with routines.
- Teach with passion and manage with compassion
- Always deliver instruction at a perky pace.
What a great start for a new school year. Thank you Dr. Archer.
