You can’t lead someone if you don’t know them. And you can’t motivate someone if you don’t know what motivates them. Relationships drive real motivation!

The idea of a 3D shape being laid flat to find surface area is a difficult concept to grasp... Until now! Loved these pull-up shapes we made today for surface area and volume! #svusdshines

One of my favorite quotes from #Relentless is: “Student behavior is feedback on your relationships, preparation, effort, and instruction. As adults, we don’t always want to hear that feedback, but we must not ignore it.” @brewerhm your book is amazing!
