Reducing Absences, Distractions, & Late Work

Jonathan Erb focuses on reducing absences, arguing teachers can’t control them directly but can soften their impact and curb them.
Austin Smucker addresses reducing distractions in three main points:

• Own your quirks

• Expect the unexpected

• Keep your students busy

Kyle Lehman uses Tom Sawyer whitewashing the fence as a 6-point recipe to prevent late work, and follows that up with a couple tips for curing late work when it does slip in.

"Reducing Absences, Distractions, & Late Work " was presented at Western Fellowship Teachers' Institute 2017.
