Hi! I'm working on my annual goals. Has another done theirs and adjusted them to reflect the pandemic? How so? I asked in a couple of fora with Gen Ed teachers and they all mentioned Family Engagement and differentiation but that's already the bread and butter of what I do!

I’m an EL teacher and I agree that family engagement and differentiation are my ‘bread and butter’ too, but I am still working on the same goal as others on my Team (I’m part of a full time Distance a Learning Team). We’re focusing on learning and implementing relationship building strategies specifically in the online environment with students with low engagement/work completion in our content classes. We chose this because we noticed that our ‘home room’ kids are much more likely to show up and participate in our content classes, even if all other content classes get NO participation from them at all. Relationships matter! 😊

Thank you, that's such a great way to articulate it!

I teach ESOL in a K-2 Connecticut public school. Academic goals were put on hold for this school year. In addition to student and/or family engagement, it was suggested we could focus on social and emotional learning for students.
