This short video features "The Drive for 5," a concept I created to help children and parents understand what I consider to be the 5 most important traits kids need to develop and display in order to have the best school year possible. You can find the set of visuals that I present in the video on my Pinterest page. I share the visuals with my students at the beginning of the school year and with their parents at Back to School Night. These ideas become a significant reference point that we use in class throughout the year.
