Engagement & Making the Right First Impression

In an attempt to address the unanswered questions you have about motivation, engagement, and classroom management, I came across this video by Michael Grinder. Grinder is the author of ENVoY and several other educational resources about the art of teaching.

This short video addresses the way teachers' non-verbals, in particular, hand motions, can make or break a first impression.

Things my hipster teacher says

I promise I discovered this site through a legitimate educational article on ASCD.org. With that said, it's pretty hilarious. Two high school students decided to create a blog (to which other high school students can contribute) capturing snippets of odd things their teachers say. It will make you chuckle and might make you think twice about the things that come out of your mouth when you're teaching! :)
