I just read this SHORT and EASY article (favorite words when it comes to articles, right!?!) about 3 new ways to ask questions to engage the whole class that I hadn't heard of!  I LOVE new ideas!  Take a look and click on the link for the appointment agenda reminder that you could tailor to a period each day to meet with students!  I really loved the "pause, star, rank" activity too!  Let me know if you utilize these in class as I'd LOVE to see them or use them in action!!!

Easier said than done, right?  I struggle with it so much that I had to download that Momentum app on both computers just to remind myself to BREATHE.  Why is it important to remember to take a deep breath?  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE as, though it seems like a no brainer, it reminds us that taking a moment can help us remain calm, de-escalating a stressful situation, and focusing on what's important.
