The 5-Day Teacher Challenge
I would have included this earlier, only just last week I found out that it started TODAY. But, "I'm on fall break," you say. Or, "This week is already packed." Or, "Maybe next year." Never fear: you can do this fun challenge at any time and share with your teachers if you wish, or just follow along this week on the twitter hashtag #5DTC
Today's challenge deals with rapport with students and has two simple things you can do to improve relationships. You can still sign up to receive the daily emails, or just follow on the blog. So far, there are over 1600 educators in 35 countries. Rushton will also be the guest on this Saturday's Classroom 2.0 Live webinar, which can be accessed here (12 noon ET)
