-
A4:when discussing getting knocked down as a natural cycle of existence seek to find unique approaches to regaining you feet

A4 Recently went to IEP meeting for Kid O. Talked about engaged learning. Like lightbulb went on over teachers' heads.

A6 That's the problem I had with most of school. Very little of it was fun. Very little of it was engaging.

-
-
A6 AGREE! like singing and dancing in class! like engaging and relevant learning

A6b because the grown-ups model and foster in school. learning = increased attendance.

-
A6. Fun is vital, a classroom w/o fun isnt engaging at all, no one will be happy, not Ss nor Ts

Q7. We are not alone in our efforts? How do you engage community resources to support your students?

A6: Yes! Needs to be fun for both Ss & Ts! Engagement significantly increases when it's fun!
Right ? ;)

-
shout out to for its great relationship w/ Bloomington Pub. Schools
-
-
A6 When I think back upon K-12, it was something to be endured. No wonder I wanted to graduate HS in three years.
