That would be so helpful. ]]> 2020-06-25 21:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/640431504 https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/640432450 How do you suggest handling misbehaviors  in a way that feels responsible, responsive and not damaging? ]]> 2020-06-25 21:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/640432450 Favorites https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/641473599 I know I am going to have them, what are some strategies

How do I set up a classroom environment over zoom?]]> 2021-06-17 18:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612872471 Behavioral Management https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612873022 I have not been socialized as an assertive person. How can I find myself becoming a commanding person for the sake of myself and my students? Is there an internal reflective/psychological analysis of my own personality that must be done, as well as some introspective healing, before I can find myself being assertive enough to manage a classroom?]]> 2021-06-17 18:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612873022 https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612873061 How do you make scripted curriculum your own? 

What are best practices dealing with in the moment or something that happened the day before event (i.e. a police shooting)- I will want to engage in discussion- can you let the learning go for that day?

I'm also very worried about teaching grammar- best practices for refreshing yourself?

For instance, will our schools hand us a lesson plan that we are then expected to follow? Or do we have agency in the scripting of the lesson plan? tristansmith211 https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612874458 2021-06-17 18:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612874458 BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT What should you do if a student becomes agitated or acts up in the class? https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612874939 2021-06-17 18:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612874939 Please share any visual and/or auditory resources you have - videos etc that model the creation of a lesson plan because although I understand them conceptually, I am at a loss for navigating the logistics of planning and I feel as though having a model would have been very helpful but we did not. https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612875858 2021-06-17 18:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612875858 https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612876215 What are some strategies to deal with verbal or physical conflicts between students in class?]]> 2021-06-17 18:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612876215 Resources https://padlet.com/chanel_timmons/sh9se7tll6ch40d2/wish/1612876707 What resources do you recommend to make our jobs easier?
