Teacher Expectations are demonstrated by the moment-to-moment interactions they have with the students they teach in thousands of almost invisible ways. Teachers give additional attention to provide more specific feedback and exhibit demonstrations of approval (for example, tone, nods, smiles) to students they expect to succeed. Teachers with high expectations have procedures in place that students manage themselves, communicate learning intentions and success criteria with the class, ask more open questions, manage behavior positively and proactively, make more positive statements and create a positive classroom climate, and set specific learning goals that are regularly reviewed with students.

In this episode of Nearpod News, Jami teaches us how to use the new feature "Live to Student Paced" when you want to switch between presenting a lesson and letting students continue on their own. Jami will tell us some examples of why this tool is helpful!
