Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing: Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or as modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, new research shows. 🧵 1/4

An incredible job done by the cast and crew of this years PMS #drama club performance of #newsies! So much hard work and amazing talent all led by the incomparable Brian Smith. Thanks to the community and administration for the support to make this all possible #WeArePlainedge

Students work harder for teachers they feel care about them, respect them, and appreciate their hard work. Adults do, too.
