We canโt control the environment our students were in prior to coming to school.
We can, however, control the environment they experience once they arrive to school.
Why do people say the way to recruit teachers is by increasing pay. The best way is expose people to working with kids. That way they have experienced something that otherwise they wouldn't even have dreamt of as a career. Teachers don't become teachers for the money. #acuedu_p
100โs chart pop it that I created to use throughout my placement on year 1! So good for skip counting, counting forwards and backwards and fine motor skills, plus kids love using them! ๐๐ป #acuedu_p
At one of my schools, the DPs and Principal stand at the front gate and welcome students every day. I love joining them when I am here. It is such a great way to start the day. It makes my teacher soul happy.
#ThoughtForTheDay People who feel valued & appreciated will always do more than what is expected. Remember to be mindful & deliberate in your communication to staff or you run the risk of them making up their own story regarding their worth to you or the organization. #Culturize
Never pass up the opportunity to greet and acknowledge a student passing by in the hallway.
Your kind words and gesture may become the highlight of their day.
Thank you Jamie Wahab for such an informative lecture! He shared fantastic advice on the job application process as well as how to conduct ourselves during job interviews. #acuedu_p#beginnerteacher
What a great classroom management strategy my mentor teacher uses for kindergarten! The Call-On Cup is so effective, every learner is engaged and ready when their paddle-pop stick is randomly chosen #acuedu_p
