sharing is caring

the best practices are to get everyone involved and students participating with their learning experience. I do utilize action plans to assist students in achieving his or her goals. I feel that my major successes are when students are striving with their grades and their learning experience. My major challenges are when students are failing.

Feedback Rule of Thumb

It is the key to everything. Without good communication you will most likely fail in anything you try to do.
