Agree! It greatly helps if teacher is also actively participating, i.e. modeling expected behavior. #ecechat

PapaBacher Mar 28 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A5: Routines and procedures are fundamental with any lesson. Ss need to know expectations to be successful #ecechat

procm2 Mar 28 @ 10:19 PM EDT

just our kids are the future and I think lately people forget that #ecechat
