I love that each article we've read has been full of great, easy-to-implement ideas! I need to figure out a way to organize my articles though.. right now I have them stuffed in a folder and I'm afraid I'll lose all of my annotations!

It is from the October 2012 issue of Educational Leadership magazine and the article definitely touches on so many useful topics, from classroom closure to formative assessment.
