216 - My BEST HACK for Memorizing Student Names

Dale Carnegie once said that “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” And so it is.

These short episodes are based on my written reflections, which you can find on the Teachers on Fire Magazine at Medium.com.
