ET - what are some in-class best practices
KP - looking for more strategies

# data[].attributes.body
KP - issue is that students won't answer or stay on point/task; what is one word that will help you be successful and then shared it out and posted it -- put a keyword above the computer to remind you that everything is okay (mantra); stop yourself, breath, and be patient
MS - posting every Wednesday something people are grateful for (Gratitude Wednesday); share and be honest with students about how you're feeling as a teacher; community circle moments; take time for gratitude
ET - Mindful Minute
KP - Inner Explorer subscription (7th session) -- mindful practices each day -- have students focus on their thoughts and bodies -- do it in the middle of reading and math block
MS - peace patrol (science and mind; peace march) -- guided meditation
MS - we share our emotions as teachers to keep things real; use Zones of Regulation (blue, yellow, green, red) -- we share our own feelings and emotions (identify self-awareness) -- people can share their zone in class to acknowledge that always being in the green zone is unrealistic (this is done 2 days of week); Mondays and high-lows from weekend, Friday and rose and thorn of the week; use 20-30 minutes
KP - use emojis in how they're feeling that day

# data[].attributes.body
LY - starting the day with appreciation, how feeling, mood meter -- these tools work well in a small group; "I feel happy because..." "I feel sad because..." (and teachers share about themselves)
SH - math program; have one specific assignment they have to complete in one day, which makes them feel successful in accomplishing something; students and teachers sharing comments during class activities; there's a google check-in form each day that has a new goofy question each day; these questions are intentional but not necessarily intentional (some classes are quieter, so need to moderate questions)
KP - "what would you rather" questions are fun ways to get them going and build culture
SH - student-driven presentations/sharing have opened students' eyes to the challenges that teachers have in teaching students online
KP - remind students to drink water; remind self to drink water
SH - model work for students and build up their skills that allow students to keep up and minimize frustration that comes with learning new things (guiding their learning) -- emphasize with students that we are available to help -- "I am on your side. Learning online sucks, but we can do this together!"; getting students to see teachers are human and want students to do well and succeed
SH - whiteboard.fi -- you can share a whiteboard and have students work on things and then teacher can share how they do things

# data[].attributes.body
KP - students are exhausted with distance learning now, especially students who typically participate a lot
SH - everyone is burnt out and it's been made worse when week went from 4 days to 5 days
KP - challenge to get students to participate and be willing/open to sharing -- things have been made worse to get students to participate because of the virtual environment; some students aren't opening up; challenge of encouraging students to open up and feel safe
SH - some students may feel burnt out by being asked to share how they're doing
SH - find time to take care of oneself

# data[].attributes.body
SH - moderate lesson plans to fit the needs of students -- live online teaching is only used when absolutely necessary to help make sure those kids who cannot meet online everyday all day can still keep along; it's important to switch up the students who are involved in activities to encourage participation and engagement
