missalywilliams Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A5: I paint the picture of what one/all of my Ss deal with on the daily. Then ask them if they'd be able to learn without empathy. #ECET2

mrchyr Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A5: We need to teach the whole child, and really mean it! We focus so much on test scores when their are many types of intelligence! #ecet2

DebbyCall6 Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A5: Explain the importance of growing the whole child. Ss need to understand and be empathetic to be successful citizens. #ecet2

CarrieLansberry Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT

bamameghan Oct 2 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@DennisDill I guess I mean that, as a mom, I'm inclined to think of everyone as my kid. How would I want their T to treat them? #ecet2
