Teaching Tip: Being Honest

Here’s a good teacher tip I use with my kiddos if they are not being honest. I tell them that “teachers have a special power, we can see a purple dot on your forehead if you aren’t being honest. The magical thing is that only teachers can see it.” It never fails, if they’re being dishonest, they always throw their hand up to cover their forehead and I remind them that they know in their heart if they’re being honest. It’s a great strategy that lets them self-reflect and it’s done in a fun, kind way. Any teacher tricks that work well in your class?
