NNN (No Nonsense Nurturing)
NNN (No Nonsense Nurturing)
Back in 2012, I moved to Denver, CO to take a math teaching job at a turnaround high school. I thought I was a skilled educator, but I had never taught in an urban environment, which was very different.
A teacher coach told me about NNN (No Nonsense Nurturing). The process was as follows:
Give a class directive.
Narrate the students who are following the directive.
Specifically redirect the students not in compliance to get on track.
Surprisingly, I found this strategy to actually be very effective!
