How do you keep teachers engaged in learning and improving teacher practice at the end of the school year? I find this time of the year to be the slowest and my least favorite, as a coach.

I’m all about the reflective piece and I take this time to go and enjoy watching teachers teach. I really also use the time to connect with kids because that’s the part of the puzzle that many seem to forget about when they become coaches

I also try to spend more time in the classes. Sometimes I ask teachers if I can co-teach with them when I pop in. I practice asking higher order questions, good group discussions, problem solving, etc. I find teachers get excited to try new things because the year is wrapping up and the pressure is off

Finding ways to encourage teachers near the end of the year is a powerful motivator 😊

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Our teachers will be returning to our school building as usual (about 10 days before school starts) whether school is virtual or face to face, so our school is wanting to plan a traditional welcome back for them. In the past, the celebration was usually a whole school group event at on off-campus locale. Unfortunately, with social distancing, etc., it makes it quite difficult to do the big gathering. Just wondering what other schools may be planning to welcome back their teachers. Suggestions??
