Based on my own experience in the classroom, as well as what I see daily in my current role, this is a time of year for increased off-task behavior. Why? Several reasons: ⭐ Students are much more comfortable with their classmates, and know how to push their buttons! ⭐ Teachers are hyper-focused on upcoming state testing, all of the curriculum left to cover this year, and making it to the next break to take a breath. ⭐ In the hustle-and-bustle, the time spent on proactively setting students up for success gets pushed aside. These are some great resources to support teachers in refocusing students that lead to deeper engagement (which lead to increased academic outcomes!) In one school, the PD day was a choice of different courses liked these, and teachers got to choose where they would do the work - at home or in school! Administrators were able to see that the teachers put in the time, Teachers were super happy to have several choices around their learning, and the conversations that followed were magical! ✨ Whether you are a teacher or an administrator, these courses and/or faculty meeting plans will help you reset student misbehavior and help you get back to engaged student learning!
