I love this idea from Bryan Whitney. Check it out:
…another thing that I’m going to try as a job is having one or two “coaches”. The coaches write down when they see good contributions from specific students and positive/happy moments in class. You can then have them share what they saw during the last five minutes or so of class as a sort of review, and it ends class on a positive note….
If anyone else tests this out this year, pls. check in here with your findings.
