What are the top five lessons you will take back to your classroom or lifestyle after summer institute?
5: To write.
4: To rely on fellow educators to help me become a better teacher and to be there for them when they need me.
3: To encourage my children at home to write. Writing shouldn’t only be done in the classroom.
2: To make a website for my students, parents and administrators to “see” in my classroom.
1: To have my students write. It doesn’t even matter all the time what they write. They need to practice putting pen to paper and writing down their thoughts.

I love the lessons you will take back to your classroom.
Excellent! Sometimes it doesn’t matter what they write just that they are. Research supports that notion. Just the act of writing does something to our brains.
