While the article looks interesting, I have to say that the best thing about this post is seeing a LOLcat on ASCD. Awesome!

Thanks for sharing a link to the Teacher Leaders Network article at Teacher Magazine, authored by Michigan middle grades teacher Cossondra George. It's one of a series of "Teaching Secrets" pieces contributed by members of the TLN Forum in their effort to help young and less experienced colleagues with teaching fundamentals. There's an archive of TLN articles at the Teacher Magazine website -- just click on any TLN logo you see. All the "Teaching Secrets" pieces begin with that tag.
