Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Angie Butts

Mrs. Butts plans the beginning of each day with intentionality. Each day, students engage in a morning routine. They confirm classroom norms, activate their brain, say hello to one another, and establish the mindset of the week. Perhaps most importantly, a sense of community is generated.

How can you bring this to life in your classroom or setting? Don't hesitate to start small. A weekly mindset or a class meeting at the beginning of a period is a great place to begin.

Enjoy!
