Time for building relationships is never wasted time. “Head, Shoulders, Knees, COLOR!” This activity I learned about from an amazing teacher at Tumbleweed Elementary and modified / gamified. Directions in video 🎥 Have fun 🤩 and share with your teachers and school.

Interested in some great student engagement ideas and relationship building activities and conversations around climate and culture check out my book 📚 #NextLevelTeaching On Amazon 📚

Bravo, Mr. Alsheimer. #joy #relationships #FredMethod If you are not familiar with the episode, “Head and Shoulders” with Ella Jenkins in 1985.

@LarrickMisti @casas_jimmy @ConnectEDDBooks @educategalore @Rdene915 @AMLE @AccuTrainK12 @thomascmurray @TechNinjaTodd @teacher2teacher Love this idea!! Does your book address any tactics for engaging & empowering Secondary/High School Students?

@LarrickMisti @casas_jimmy @ConnectEDDBooks @educategalore @Rdene915 @AMLE @AccuTrainK12 @thomascmurray @TechNinjaTodd @teacher2teacher My book #nextlevelteaching touches on all areas and levels of education. My 2nd book coming out end of this school year is a framework for instructional development with tons of specific lessons to encourage relationship building and enhance instruction and student engagement.

@LarrickMisti @casas_jimmy @ConnectEDDBooks @educategalore @Rdene915 @AMLE @AccuTrainK12 @thomascmurray @TechNinjaTodd @teacher2teacher This is a great activity for the beginning of the year. Love it.

@LarrickMisti @casas_jimmy @ConnectEDDBooks @educategalore @Rdene915 @AMLE @AccuTrainK12 @thomascmurray @TechNinjaTodd @teacher2teacher I’m DEFINITELY going to do this!!
