ALT Teacher Tip via Educator Susan Jennings. Start each day with five sticky notes, each with a student's name, on your teacher workspace. Throughout the day, jot a quick, positive note or observation about each of those five students. At the ed of the day, take a picture of your notes, then stick them in the students' take-home folders. By the end of the week, you will have made a positive contact with each of your families. (You can use the photos for documentation and to make sure you don't write the same thing next week!)

ALT "Data meetings should feel personal – because they are. They’re about real students with real lives. Every name on the list deserves our attention, our belief and our best effort. But just naming kids won’t move the needle. Behind every data point is a child. And behind every plan should be a team of adults committed to doing something about it. Let’s make sure our data conversations don’t stop at who’s behind. Let’s talk about what we’re going to do – and do it." —Leader Emily Paschall

ALT "One of my favorite ways to connect with students is to help them solve a problem. Moving through restorative practice questions gives them a chance to feel heard, a chance for me to listen and get to know them better and helps them see how we’ll always help them repair and move forward." —AP Jill Tully
