Staying Engaged

In last week's Sparksnotes, I highlighted best practices for staying engaged with kids for the duration of the school year. Here are a couple of visual reminders of being vigilant in the halls and conferencing with students during instructional time.

Teachers are in the hall monitoring students and having instructional conversations.

A teacher is conferencing with a student who is problem-solving her high school schedule.

A teaches is conferencing with students on their thesis development.

A teacher works at the student's level to support independent practice.

A teacher conferences with a book club to assess their progress and support further learning.
