To help encourage independence/trouble shooting/figuring it out, try this: make a short PPT or a small handout with clear directions in the form of a few steps. Tell the students they are flying solo now across the Atlantic and they must answer their own questions as they work through. Questions like “is this the right page?” , “What am I supposed to do next?” “Is this homework?” get diminished when you keep answering “you’re flying solo now.” They enjoy the challenge.

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

How long does it take to get called by a recruiter on average for flipkart's process? Anybody who has been in this situation before?

Applied for Product Manager 1
Yoe 1.5

I guess I'll try my luck out... Isn't the ideal thing to have the passion and romance of teenagers, but with the maturity and experience of adults? Hopefully I could find someone here that has that mindset.

I joined an agency about 2 months ago and every single day I get more responsibilities, to the point that I don't even know what my actual job title is. I'm frustrated, to say the least.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.

Instead of “I can”, try “I GET to”

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?

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

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