I feel as though most teachers implement all the teaching strategies highlighted in the book. I would like to increase and modify how I Provide Recognition to students. I intend to recognize a group of the month for outstanding cooperation, production, and sharing. I'm not quite sure how it is the group will be chosen, so I could use some suggestions. I will definately have some sort of certificate as the students prepare and exit portfolio from 6th-8th grade, and certificates make a good article. I already implement quite a few of the learning strategies, so I think I will just try to list what I do.
