I share how I learned about John Hattie and his research on student achievement. Also, how he came up with the greatest (and not so great) influences on student success and where teacher credibility falls.

The story of when I realized my nose was crooked and how sharing this with my students makes me a more credible teacher (I think...)

Reflected on a conversation we had as a class regarding students touching other students hair and attempting to create awareness from a racial perspective. NOT SURE WHY AUDIO DISAPPEARED...hopefully is magically appears???

Reflected on how well students did with the walk out today and What I've done to create a positive environment for students sharing their stories

Tested the quality of a real microphone I borrowed, reflected on the process of podcasting, and how what I'm doing is really modeling the learning/growing process for my students and own children.

Why affinity-seeking behaviors are important for credibility and strategy number 3, presenting self as an equal.

Started introducing what a genius hour is to students and how what I'm doing is another version of it with teacher credibility.

Sharing a strategy I use to help students with transitions and how it's modeling a growth mindset

Just wanted to say thank you...

Reflecting on my new goal of hugging all my coworkers and what I want to do when i achieve it.
