    It's really about developing relationships and getting to know and understand what your kids need and want. Emdin talks a lot about letting student co-teach. That is a great way to get them involved. Ask them to present material in a creative way. See what they give u!

    Facilitated a weekly free write & voluntary teamwide share-out in Humanities today. A student who is always goofing off decided to share his writing. He wrote the most powerful poem/rap about a deceased elementary school friend. Ss & I publicly praised him. TALK ABOUT GROWTH! 🙌🏽 – at High Tech High

    I really hope they accept. “If you can’t freestyle in life, you can’t freestyle in the classroom.” Following Chris Emdin’s advice from Deeper Learning. Let me know if you’ve got song advice. – at Normal Park Museum Magnet School Upper Campus
