Hot Tip Tuesday- 2nd Edition
Hot Tip Tuesday
Each week I bring to you helpful tips to become a more effective educator on the Always A Lesson fan page on Facebook. (Give it a quick like by clicking here!) I decided to start grouping my social media posts into a blog post in case you might have missed anything. [click here to read the 1st Edition.]
Time to get caught up:
[abbreviations: P = parent, Ss= student, LP = lesson plans]
- P communication- record date, topic, Ps reaction, & next steps on a roster in each Ss fie. Great for conferences.
- Place all frequently used materials on a nearby table close to where you teach most for easy access
- Ss get anxious & excited as the holidays approach. Include more movement & noise into your LPs 4 Ss
- Elem folks, put tape on the floor where Ss are to line up. Assign spots if needed-Order over chaos!
- Review procedures and rules after long breaks from school to ensure Ss get back into the groove
- Place student computer log in info on the back of their name tags for easy reference
- Have Ss highlight their name on their paper before turning it in = reminder to put their name
- Ss grow rapidly, u might be too close to notice. After holiday break, praise Ss for the transformation
- Roll out those procedures after break. Everyone could use a nice refresher!
- Ask a colleague “what do you need help with right now?” Your strength can transform their practice
(*note: these posts are sent out via BUFFER so they follow Twitter’s rules for word count and I had to get creative!)
Stay tuned for the next edition coming out in one month!
