Awesome article! I was just thinking about what I need to do to revisit classroom expectations and keep the vibrant classroom community alive and firing on all cylinders. As a first year teacher, I’m kind of shocked at how spring fever is hitting my class. I think a literal quote from last week was, “what happened to the students who used to come to class and who are these new brash young rebels who do not want to read anymore…” This article inspired me to get back at it and make those expectations known!
Thanks Barbara! Tons of ideas for the drawing board! 🙂 great article.
