Shout out to Leah Polley for implementing a short video and then having scholars complete a free write in their journals! It was an shining example of how to make the Essential 8 & PBIS the foundation her classroom culture–while reinforcing her academic content. Using her idea as a spring board, I will search for additional videos related to the Essential 8 and motivation for you to implement into your lessons when applicable. It is not mandatory they be used…I am attempting to give you resources.
