Debbie Diller- Title One Conference Kalahari

  • Use kid's writing to see how they understand how words work. How they spell, lets you know what areas they need assistance with in terms of literacy and reading.
  • For posting rules and modelling behavior and expections, create posters with the rules and pictures of the students DOING what the rules say. Example: what great independent reading looks like- have them model the behavior. Concentrating, looking at the book, using a book mark, etc. The mind thinks in pictures not in words
  • The Power of Focus= How to hit your business, personal adn financial targets with absolute certainty. by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Hewitt. Recommended book
  • Goals notebook-keep one
  • Don't do for a child what they can do for themselves
