A few years ago I wrote THIS blog and it did well on Edutopia. I decided to make a video version of it.
I share 5 innovative ways that I’ve found to help create and foster a positive classroom culture both when I taught elementary school as well as now in middle school.
1. Ask different questions
2. Do mindful breathing exercises
3. High-5 Friday!
4. Start a class Instagram
5. Weekly check-in
