🎧 What can a documentary about a cycling hero and a top business book have to teach you about how to:

✅ Reframe mindset around standardized testing gaps

❤️ Better support students who are far below grade level?

A lot, as it turns out.

In this week's episode, I look at the key concepts from the game-changing book "The Gap and the Gain" 📚 

These key concepts can help you:

➡️ Better support students who are academically deficient, but working hard 

➡️ Help foster confidence and self-reliance in students

➡️ Learn the secret to not stressing over your never-ending "to-do "list

🏆 Get strategies to celebrate student progress and cultivate their intrinsic motivation

💡 Learn the power of a "5 Minute Pity Party" 

🔁 Change your self-talk and conversations to live more in the "gain" than "the gap."

If you've ever wanted to fuel your motivation, and that of your students by acknowledging forward momentum - don't miss this episode.

This uplifting episode will leave you feeling empowered.
