TAKE RISKS AND PICK ON PIECE TO FOCUS ON!

2024-01-30 18:41:06 UTC

give yourself some grace, take your time, and start small

2024-01-30 18:41:12 UTC

Write down all the energizers!

Choose one topic and focus on that first. Add as you go :D

2024-01-30 18:41:12 UTC

Start with small manageable goals

2024-01-30 18:41:15 UTC

Come with an open mind

If it's beneficial for your students, it's worth putting the work and time into.

Stay calm

A quote I heard from one of the participants: "It's not a program, it's a process"

Remember- even though we are amazing teachers- we are humans too! Take your time, do your best, and have grace! We are always growing and learning too!

2024-01-30 18:41:44 UTC

celebrate the small achievements and trust the process

Start small and work your way up

Try one or two things at a time. Teaching and learning is a process that build upon themselves and get better over time.

Make a basket / flash cards with the energizer ideas / activity ideas.

2024-01-30 18:41:59 UTC

Remember all students are different so what works for one student might not for another.

2024-01-30 18:42:13 UTC

Have a tool kit with resources and ideas to go back to

2024-01-30 18:42:31 UTC

Share your ideas and borrow ideas from your colleagues.

Start small and choose one area you would like to implement first :)

2024-07-26 18:01:49 UTC

Pick a couple practices you feel comfortable trying out and start there. Talk to other people who are responsive classroom trained.

2024-07-26 18:01:50 UTC

Everything comes back to relationship-building!

2024-07-26 18:01:51 UTC

Pick a few pieces to start with and build up from there.

2024-07-26 18:01:54 UTC

One step at a time and it is alright to make mistakes and learn from them.

Choose only ONE component to focus on at a time.

2024-07-26 18:01:58 UTC

2024-07-26 18:02:08 UTC

Try a couple new things at a time. Perfect them! Then add another couple strategies. Repeat :)

2024-07-26 18:02:08 UTC

Start small!

2024-07-26 18:02:21 UTC

No matter what you call it, it is good teaching and what is best for kids. Be open to it.

2024-07-26 18:02:21 UTC

keep your students engaged by checking in and utilize the energizers!

Use the crockpot mentality - go low and slow. You don't have to do everything all at once!

2024-07-26 18:02:43 UTC

2024-07-26 18:02:44 UTC

Don't be scared to collaborate with other teachers, but remember everyone is different and different things work for different teachers and students.

Choose an area to focus on, so you don't feel so overwhelmed. You can add on other parts once you feel more confident.

Do this training with a group of colleagues/friends - accountability, discussing and

learning together helps!

Remember that you are trying to grow and become more effective for the sake of students. They are so lucky to have you! Pick one thing and do your best.
