Want to encourage the teachers in your school to observe and support each other? Consider sharing these positive feedback cards via educator @AMor3liana.
A screenshot of a notecard form with the headline "I came to visit you today!" Along the left is a checklist with the following prompts: (1) Something I saw today that you should celebrate: (2) I had ______ as a former student, and I loved seeing: (3) An AHA moment a student had that I observed: (4) Something you did that you should share with our team. Along the right is space to write.

Talk in math class? 🗣 It's not distraction – it's a sign of critical thinking and #StudentSuccess! Just ask T @teacherperoff, whose student T created this chart of superb sentence stems:

Your ACCESS data is school data- it’s a reflection of how the entire school supports language development. It is NOT merely a reflection of students’ time with their EL Teacher. Language instruction is happening everywhere, with everyone, all day long.
