Kayla Long, a first-year teacher, greets every student at the door with a smile and a handshake. Students enter the room reading the clear expectations on the board to get started — and they do. In the rare case that a student does not, peers take a leadership role and respectfully remind. After the bell rings, Long enters the room and acknowledges students who are doing what they are supposed to do. “Savannah, I like that you have your device out and are logging into the quiz tool for the warm-up. Kyle, I notice that you and your team are talking about your next steps for the project. Isabella, I appreciate that you are working with your group to solve that problem. Jennifer, thank you
