good behaviors and attitudes during student pick up.

it is okay to make mistakes and take risks in the classroom. Provide students with
specific feedback on an assignment or activity rather than just stating "good job".

attributes or work completed with a foci on improvement and effort not just a final
product.

individual students and are manageable.
