By teacher guest blogger Kathryn Rose Winter break has come to a close but, for many teachers and administrators, their classrooms and schools are still not entirely open. A new surge of Covid-19 cases is sweeping across the country, harkening back to the early days of the pandemic, and it would be an understatement to say that everyone is tired. We are all tired. But teachers have to be okay. Let me phrase that a little differently -- we are depending on educators to be okay but teachers do not have the luxury of crying between zoom calls. They have children to greet, connect with and console. They have school-wide testing concerns and personal health concerns and a massive amount of curriculum that they are trying to cover. It was hard enough to take a sick day when the world was a “normal” place to live in and yet, within the fog of the pandemic, the world still wants schools to post their open sign on the front door. Many of us are hardly ready f... [Learn More]

School can be an exciting and rewarding place to be, a home-away-from-home where students can make friends, learn, and create memories. However, as students reach adolescence, research shows that this flame often begins to die out. Students lose interest in classes and may dread going to school. In other words, they become disengaged. The student disengagement crisis Unfortunately, student disengagement is nothing new. Levels of student engagement were low well before the covid-19 pandemic. In fact, a Gallup poll of almost 1 million U.S. students showed that only half of the adolescents surveyed reported that they felt engaged in school. Worse yet, twenty percent reported that they were actively disengaged. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that this trend toward disengagement gets worse as students age. Why engagement matters The National Association of Independent Schools describes student engagement as meaningful involvement throughout a student’s learning ... [Learn More]

You did it! After months of uncertainty and hard work, you have adapted as a teacher to remote learning. But now you are probably wondering: sure, I’ve trained myself how to teach history or math through the screen, but what about my students’ social-emotional skills? What is social-emotional learning? Hit the brakes! Before we dive in, what exactly is social-emotional learning? According to the Committee for Children, social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process by which children obtain a specific set of social, emotional, and interpersonal skills that will help them to manage their emotions and impulses, set and achieve goals, and cooperate with others. The Five “Yous” in Social-Emotional Learning Think of all the times in a day that you may use social-emotional skills yourself, like when you breathe deeply to maintain calm during traffic or when you go to the gym even if you don’t really want to. To help you understand the process better, research... [Learn More]

Integrating technology into the classroom has revolutionized the educational landscape, fostering interactive and engaging learning environments. To maximize the benefits of this integration, equipping classrooms with the right accessories is crucial. These ten essential accessories can make classroom technology integration easier and more productive for your education space.  1.

By teacher guest blogger Kathryn Rose Last month we posted an article titled Beyond Self-Care: The Leadership Teachers Need. Within that post, it was suggested that administrators need to shoulder the monumental task of creating school cultures that effectively center the overall wellness of the staff and students. Mark my words: this is not an easy task, but it is an essential one. It is not a far reach to say that schools are like fragile ecosystems. They need balance and sufficient tools and resources to operate properly. Students and teachers play an integral role in their own local systems but administrators are certainly at the top of the larger food chain. It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that teachers do the heavy lifting while principals sit with their feet up, waiting to dole out punishments to errant students, as often portrayed in shows and movies. While it is true that discipline is one piece of the administrative puzzle, school admi... [Learn More]

By high school guest-blogger Dalal Hassane The COVID-19 pandemic has foisted an immense weight of difficulties onto many people. Educational institutions have been dramatically altered by this crisis. For students like myself, wholesome mornings in school libraries and heading off to first period Spanish with a friend have turned into tedious (and lonely) five-minute hassles to make do with a home workspace and log into Zoom. For many students, this home workspace is far from ideal for fostering learning. One big difficulty that schools have been facing during remote learning is eliciting a sense of community, as communication through screens is quite different from the emotional connections that can be made in person on a day-to-day basis. It’s been an increasing trend for teachers and even administrators to require that students turn their cameras on in order to mimic the classroom setting as best as possible. This push for students to turn... [Learn More]

By teacher guest blogger Kathryn Rose The 2021-2022 academic year has begun and many teachers are finally welcoming their students back for in-person instruction. Their classrooms are filled with bright posters, desks 6-feet apart, and lots of hand sanitizer in hopes that this year will be filled with a healthy dose of academic achievement. While the new year feels both exciting and a bit precarious for teachers, it is also important to remember that students are equally as emotional after shouldering their fair share of the trauma and difficulties that Covid-19 has injected into all of our lives. Meeting the academic and social/emotional needs of our student populations is already a tall order for veteran teachers, who have experienced the trials and tribulations of both in-personal instruction and virtual learning. It can seem like an impossible task for new teachers as they seek out ways to find their own unique classroom culture while also navigating irregular sch... [Learn More]
