Be cautious jumping back into rigorous instruction is probably the lesson that was at least sort of new to me.  This resonated because I believe in rigor. I run a class that is designed to push critical thinking, increase focus on crucial pieces of information and do something noteworthy with it.  Students always struggle with it (at all cognitive levels), but most improve drastically with practice.  - Mace

Be mindful of the time students are sitting and getting. Really try hard to break up the daily lessons with new activities and opportunity for movement.

One lesson I learned from the article was that there have been instances similar to the covid-19 pandemic in regard to a shock to our student’s education. I had never thought to compare this pandemic to the struggles that the students of New Orleans faced when trying to return to school. The article mentioned how implementing “no excuses” behavior models actually led to higher numbers of intervention rates and that a lack of a social emotional curriculum meant that students weren’t able to close achievement gaps.

I also chose "Being cautious about returning to rigorous curriculum at the expense of social-emotional curricula" - not really new for me but a good reminder of the need for balance. I did jump into 'normal' which seems to have been okay for most kids but I need to remember that not all are ready and I will need to find ways to adjust and balance for others.

Keep high expectations but the pace of content must be engaging and doable.

One lesson that resonated with me is trying to get away from the no excuses behavior model. I feel that I have been very patient but persistent with mask and distancing protocols. It seems to be working well that students don’t try to fight back, but it does start to get repetitive.

One strategy that I will bring to my class on Monday is to check in with my students about their wellbeing. I can assess their writing ability with a writing prompt that allows them to voice their concerns and worries. This can build towards a writing standard while addressing their social emotional needs

"Zero tolerance does not create a positive school climate" resonated with me as I have already had experiences with this. We must have logical/natural consequences and success plans based on the unique needs and situations of individual kids.

Yes, I think the article is an awesome reminder that our jobs as educators goes well-beyond the X's and O's of teaching and learning. We all need to be reminded that now, more than ever, we are truly on a humanitarian mission that is all encompassing of the very fabric that makes each person, experience, and outcome truly unique and remarkable at the same time. And, outcomes are not always positive, our mission is to help sway and influence students so that positive outcomes become the norm and expected by all here at Shadle!

I had not heard of the Education for All Alliance.  This seems like a good resource to help support diverse students’ needs.  I also thought that the behavioral survey was useful as well.  This seems like a good resource to help understand where student behaviors might be coming from.

Relationship building and trust with students is important and should be the lens on a daily basis

One thing I will take away is the reminder that I need to be intentional about 'realizing, recognizing, and responding to increased levels of trauma conditions in students'. The article calls for training in order to be able to do this but I also think that continuing to be intentional about talking with kids and 'noticing' is a good place to start.

The Educating all learning alliance is something I want to look into.

Trauma continues to be the #1 issue. Everyone has experienced trauma thru this pandemic; families, students and teachers. We typically think that trauma is a big, one time event...it is not!

I don't think I learned anything we have not already been told, read or trying desperately to do. It was more of an affirmation of everything I see, feel, hear and think.

The lesson learned is we know what to do we as a staff have talked about these things, we have read about these, we have tried to implement MTSS. But knowing what to do and being able to do it are on two different planets right now as we are so short and keep having any time to work to implement the suggestions. It is overwhelming, is what resonates with me.

I have always been a "no excuses teacher" having worked in a no excuses school. I am going to work to break that. I always take away the excuses in the classroom but I can't take away the excuses that have now become part of of the current norm such as the anxiety and depression and the just lost feeling. But upon reflection it makes sense that it is meaningless now and has no place. The intention was good when I was trained in it and used it but it no longer fits.
