  1. Becky – Centerburg Local (verified owner) –

    This course gave me a few ideas I will try in my classroom, such as trying to refrain from telling students “you’re so smart!” when they get a perfect score. Instead I can use phrases such as, “You worked so hard on this!” Or, “You had amazing effort today!”
