Game Changer!
Definition of game changer
: a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way
Most of your students have now been with you in your classroom for half the year. You have seen both their strengths and areas in which they need to improve. This year, something significant has to happen in their world. They MUST have a game changer!
This game changer must change the course of their academic or behavior trajectory in life. What is your game plan? Think of those students who have challenged you the most, to help them grow academically or behaviorally. What motivates them? What new trick haven't you tried?
It's time to "up the game". We are nearing the end and we don't want to allow this year to go by without making the biggest difference possible in the life of each child.
Be a "Game Changer"!
Penn Pandas are now 3 - 0! We just won our 3rd game 40 to 3 this Saturday. Congratulate the team!
