June 25, 2018 by Mikey Sivert

If you are a general education teacher, chances are that you have a wide array of students in your classroom. Gifted, special ed, RTI, 504 - you name it, a child in your class is in that subgroup.

Gifted Students and Overexcitability

June 17, 2018 by Mikey Sivert

Raise your hand if you've ever had a gifted student in your care who is routinely excited, sensitive, and intense. His or her emotions run high, almost all day, and their social-emotional life can be an extreme rollercoaster. You, my dear teacher friend, have met a student with an ... READ the POST

I've noticed my class this year has been struggling with grit and perseverance. I found this and used it yesterday with them. I used this as a presentation to the whole class and I typed in our answers as we went. It breaks it down in a super easy-to-understand way and my students were engaged.

I just bought your Insignificant Events Novel Study and I wanted to give you about two billion trillion thank yous. You saved me an EXTENSIVE amount of work and energy and probably about 12,000 calories from snacking and typing. So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I cannot say enough how much I LOVE this product!! It was a fantastic way to show my students that I cared about them and wanted them to succeed. It was super easy for them to fill out each day and they were honest with their needs which gave me a way to help assess how the day needed to go.

I was looking for ways to incorporate some things that would make [Morning Meeting] feel older to 5th graders. This is a great resource for that! I love your ideas, especially how you structure your time with the quadrants and your cues. Very creative.

One of the best purchases I have made. I love how the first part of this kit is so in depth and gives valuable tips for incorporating SEL into the classroom. This is especially useful for those beginning SEL or their teaching career. I can see myself using some of these resources to help train other teachers in SEL. Highly recommend Mikey's website as well. Very comprehensive and helpful. I'm following for sure!

Happy Teachers
