Teaching With Powerful Interactions

We're excited to share a video that New Teachers Retreat Instructor Jayme Hines created to share with 2023 Summer Educators Institute and NTR participants: Teaching With Powerful Interactions. While this video was made with newly hired teachers in mind, it's a great resource for any educator wanting to continue building relationships and connect with students. Enjoy!
