Brag Calls

Donna S. Kelley, a fourth grade teacher at Zerger Elementary in Westminster, Colorado

As effective teachers, we recognize the importance and value of maintaining good communication between home and school. A fast, efficient, and easy way to do this is to do Brag Calls. I set criteria, and whenever a student has met the goal we have set together, s/he makes a Brag Call home. This gives both the child and parent positive validation. It works for me!
