Tips and Tricks...

-get comfortable with silence
-always start off with a seating chart
-one of the main problems is when teachers can not initially engage the class right off the bat
-100% engagement is a turn and talk
-most elementary schools are considered for title one, but not many middle and high schools
-sometimes Title one school have almost too much money for resources
-the number one thing you can do with any kid is to build a relationship with them
-the need to listen in, to guide instruction, instead of just walking around and monitoring
-dont forget the power of listening in
-if you are uncomfortable with a student because of a particular thing, start off by staying something positive
-always be honest
-the use of peer helpers is a useful resource if all parties involved is ok with it
-differentiation in the truest sense of the word; your most impacting teachers teach to the middle but enhance or adapt to the other students who need help.
-the gist method; skim and scan, and then, write twelve words,
-ticket out the door; you need an activity or exercise that wraps up the lesson or the period that is linked to the day's activities and lets them know class is over
