This is what we did:
● At the beginning of the year we always have
professional development.
● Handed out sodas and told them the shake
● Talked about the importance of our teacher to
student interaction
● Talked about the lives our students live
○ poverty
○ trauma
○ fixed mindset
○ hopeless
As a closer we asked the person holding one of the
can to pop the top. NO ONE WOULD DO IT!!
We were “Shaking It Up” before it
was cool
