If you are starting the year with new colleagues, or even if you have been teaching with the same teachers for years, but you want to hit the “reset button” to re-evaluate and discuss how you work together, use these 6 talking points to help you set the expectations for how to collaborate well with your (new) team.
Read MoreWhile you and your students may not be physically together, making relational connections is more important now than ever. So the question is, how do we create and maintain those relationships with our students?
Read MoreWho could have ever predicted that we would be starting the 2020-21 school year with a majority of schools operating completely virtually? Who could have anticipated the various new regulations and mandates that educators are required to follow in order to provide a safe environment for our students? Never before have we felt such a seismic shift in education in such a short time. The entire landscape has changed, and we have to rethink everything we do in and out of the classroom. It is overwhelming to say the least.

Read MoreWe all know it is natural for the majority of students to interrupt while they’re having conversations. They want to be heard, and they want to ensure their friends and peers affirm their own point of view. SO THEY SAY THEIR OPINION AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE OVER ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS AT THEIR TABLE.
