Has anyone tried breathing exercises with their students to help them calm down at the start of class?

Rant. This guy I have been talking to started making me feel bad about who I am and my roots. About how not American I am. He started calling me odd. I blocked him but now I feel inadequate.

I've been job searching for nearly 4 months.... started using fishbowl 3 weeks ago... this app is far superior to anything on the market.

Had a fabulous meeting with an agency recruiter who was already talking about flying me out. Radio silence for two weeks. I’ve followed up and everything. Is it a lost cause?

Are there any good PM certification that’s worthwhile? Not something that’s on Udemy for 2 hours of coursework.

If your students are working on computers, have them move the chairs and face the screens toward you can see what they are doing.

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

Instead of “I can”, try “I GET to”

Google forms make for great exit tickets. Of course this only works if your students all have a device. Hard copy exit tickets can become unmanageable, depending on class sizes and frequency.

I have a burning question. I have been teaching for over 18 years, which nags me.

Suppose you agree that the provided professional development offered through our districts is ineffective. Why not invest in your professional development by seeking a coach or mentor or even pay for professional resources that would help? To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

Got dread? Picture yourself having a great day. Managing all the yuk makes for a successful day.

Breathing bubbles calm the class even for just a minute.

WILL Smith. Sigh. I wonder how many people WILL be thinking twice now because of this “slap heard around the world” . WILL this cause us to pause? What WILL we learn from this?

Drop your classroom management ideas here. For my school it sure is nice to have a principal who supports a no phone policy.

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.
