What do your student interactions look like?
Here is what my teacher and student interactions looked like when I first start teaching. Notice a problem?

Student assessment choices
A student of mine recently was interested in finding out if a selection technique another teacher uses to choose a random "volunteer" was in fact fair. One of the teachers in my school uses a simple finger game to choose a student who then has to be the first person to do their presentation. Each student puts up between 0 and 3 fingers, the total number of fingers is found, and then the teacher chooses a person (usually someone in the corner of the room) and starts counting out students, until the total number of fingers up is reached.
Letters from Students and Parents
Below is a list of links to letters or thank you notes from students and parents I have received over my years as a teacher. I've blurred out the names to protect the identities of the students and parents involved.
