Classroom Strategies:
  1. Behavior Expectations and How to Teach Them | Edutopia: "Instead of looking at students as willfully disobeying all the good manners they've been taught, what if we put a process in place to teach our expectations for student behavior with the best practices often reserved for academic work?"
  2. Strategy For Deeper Student Conversations: Conver-Stations: "Move students during small group discussions to deepen conversations"
  3. Student Participation Strategy: Talk Moves: "Encourage collaboration and participation."
