A teacher gave me a cool piece of advice today. He said “Instead of saying ‘You’re going to get in trouble, if you keep doing X’ you can say things like:
- ‘I don’t want you to get in trouble for doing X.’
- “I’d hate for you to lose points because of X.”
- ”I don’t want you to be sent down to X.”

Ask: is what they should be doing. They usually say, no. Ask what it should look like. They tell you and you say, do it. give them a chance

About
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
