Any suggestions or ideas on working with teachers who are less than enthusiastic about utilizing technology as a means to bring “more” to their lessons?

Take a lesson they are doing or are going to do and give the lesson a boost with tech, then model it for them.
Are you hosting any PD? It seems that Google Forms is like a gateway drug. Once teachers see how easy it is to make and grade an assignment, they are hooked and are open to using other tools.
I find that most teachers that are less than enthusiastic are afraid of failing in front of students because they are uncomfortable with tech. Try using something (tech) you know they are good at and incorporate into a lesson.
Remember that tech is so overwhelming and daunting for some so positive feedback is most important for the smallest accomplishment.

I love this response! I would have said the same thing.

If it is “more” without a direct measurable outcome, then teachers don’t have time for it.

How do you best support your students who do not speak English? I have four ELL’s in my 6th grade ELA class and they don’t receive push-in or pull-out Bilingual support during my class. Do you pull them for small group to provide instruction separately or do you just try to use google translate to translate your lessons and the work? Any best practices? I’d love some help.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?
