SUPER IMPROVER WALL- WHOLE BRAIN TEACHING- The Super Improvers is posted in the classroom to help my students set goals. One goal should be academic and the other behavior. Academic goals could be improving writing neatness, reading faster, mastering math facts, speaking in complete sentences, asking great questions. Behavior goals include kindness (bucket fillers) praise of classmates, good manners, good sportsmanship, leadership, mentoring lower grade students and helping others. These goals will be practiced and discussed throughout the year. My students will receive recognition for breaking personal records. This is a ten- leveled color coded scale with names for each level ascending from least to greatest, to most, to exciting. Its goal is to reward students for improvement rather than ability. It celebrates growth more than skill. THE ONLY PERSON YOU HAVE TO SURPASS IS YOURSELF. Every student begins at the bottom, works hard to win ...because they are only competing against themselves. We will be super improvers in grade 2!!!
