A colleague just texted me: “It’s gonna be a great year!”

I can’t tell you how much your mindset and your energy level makes a difference to the school.

Yes... we will have challenges. But we will teach our students; we will care about each other; and it will be a GREAT year!

The upcoming school year might be one of the toughest ever to be an educator.

It also might be the most exciting and revolutionary.

Mindset will be critical. 💯

Journaling outside is calming and can help kids focus, which is conducive to self-reflection. 📓🌤️https://t.co/QclyoBKoLp

Online learning is a strong possibility next year, and these suggestions will help educators think through how to respond to that.

Part 3: STEAM education provides opportunities for students to "think" about their thinking and to embrace multiple outcomes. There's no single process, there are many. There's no single solution, there are several. Knowing this gives the learner control over their own learning.

There are so many unknowns about the upcoming school year. What, if anything, do you think will be different? Do you think remote learning will continue?

@JonesFirstGrade My school is a 3rd-5th grade and we have 15 minutes built into our day for recess. Many of the teachers don't take their students outside and just do a brain break inside during that time. I try to take my class out as often as I can-I definitely see improvements in behavior.
