I implemented many of the strategies that I learned in my NTI courses this past summer. Clear and precise classroom rules were supported by a detailed syllabus. Each of these documents laid the foundations for expectations in my Health Care Science class. What a difference it makes to point to a rule and refer to the syllabus - it's huge!
Another thing I implemented was a review game that we did at NTI. As a knitter, I have no problem coming up with stray balls of yarn. Attached is a picture of a class review game using a ball of yarn. The kids loved it!
This is a great picture of your middle schoolers. I am so glad you posted this and that you used the activity from class. I think your year is going to be great if you keep up with your structure and are consistent. Dr. J.
