This makes the first year even harder for them. What can I do to address this issue? https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/747315311 2020-09-15 11:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/747315311 fluddag https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/748548168 It seems more difficult to support teachers when we are strictly virtual.  Anyone have anything awesome that's working?  I also usually give out prizes at my meetings, and now I'm not sure how to do that.  Suggestions? ]]> 2020-09-15 16:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/748548168 https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/748947244 So far we have a great group of new teachers.

This is about the time where previous heath routines have been pushed to the side and we almost forget how to counter things before we feel like we’re drowning. Just thinking of resources to share. :)]]> 2020-09-15 18:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/749199030 FRONTLINE https://padlet.com/trottajs/swmilpgqbymi/wish/749217506 How do we make sure new hires have the proper log in information to access Frontline?
