from subscription to A.J. Juliani :When we look at what research says about becoming better at something, two pieces of evidence stand out. First, we must have clarity on what our goals are, and where we want to go or what we want to become.

Today I want to talk about a process that we often miss when we look at student success in the classroom. We tend to talk about growth, goals, and instructional practice…yet, we miss a key element of going from "defining a goal" to "achieving a goal" with out students. It's about building better learning habits. We often talk about strategies, but forget that our habits as teachers and leaders impact the habits of our students.

But if students do not have the habit of writing every day, it is extremely difficult to improve that practice and reach their writing goals. Here's where habit stacking becomes essential in our classrooms.
