@modernclassproj This is great. This would have helped our administration understand the process instead of pulling the plug on us.

One of the biggest issues in education…

The people that make decisions for what is best for students are NOT teachers.
Nor were teachers even asked.

Regularity is for bowel movements, not staff meetings. If you don’t have anything important to say, cancel your staff meeting and send an email.

@JustinUnruh16 @quizizz @edpuzzle @eduprotocols Do you lead the students through this slide by slide or do they complete this in a self paced model?

When teachers are stuck spending the majority of class time managing disruptions to the learning experience, they burn out. Nothing is more frustrating and exhausting. Traditional methods of instruction that are teacher-centered are highly problematic because one individual can put a halt to the entire learning experience. The only path forward is to design student-centered classrooms where students have greater control over their learning and less control over their peers' learning.

This! All of this!!!

Finally, there is a national discussion about the unsustainable nature of the teaching profession. It shouldn't have taken a global pandemic and an intense spike in burnout for the topic to get attention, but so be it. However, there are two trends I am seeing that are concerning:

1. Solutions are being crafted for educators rather than with educators. Consequently, we will run into the same implementation gap that has plagued K-12 educators for years.
2. We are frequently dancing around the problem. Much of teacher burnout derives from the fact that teachers don't feel equipped with a teaching model that allows them to succeed in the classroom. They hear the buzzwords, they sound compelling in theory, but they have no pathways to bring them to life in their classrooms. Most solutions fail to address how teachers can redesign their classrooms to unleash their time and reduce behavior challenges. Until this is addressed, burnout will continue.

@lauramcfarren I would love to know more about this lesson and the buckets if you are willing to share.

Leaders, while it's true that it’s all about the kids, remember that a student's learning environment is created by the teacher. A teacher who is supported, valued, & appreciated will create a more positive & dynamic learning environment than a teacher who is not.
