A5 put it on the students to review. Q/A, problem/sol, what if x happened, and guided practicing. You have to review often. #TXed

Keep your rules and procedures posted so you won't have to review them. Students also have no argument if they say they forgot them. #TXed

A2 - come prepared and with a good attitude! Students can tell if you are having an off day and aren't fully engaged with them. # #Txed

akunce05 Nov 30 @ 10:11 PM EST

Usually it makes Ss more self-aware of their behavior. I hope it helps them internalize the rules in their own voice. #txed

P2: students earned for positive behavior but also academic reasons and then they had to practice place value to count their tix! #TXed

A6 Work towards a goal. We do complement marbles and then a reward once the jar is full. You get more when Ss are happy & connected. #TXed
