When I first started looking at making my long-range plans or just trying to figure out what I needed to teach. I treated the curriculum standards like a checklist. This checklist led me to feel overwhelmed and always feeling like I was never going to get everything done. I hated that feeling. So I changed the way I looking at planning what I was going to teach when and I will never look back.To find our highly effective, time-saving resources Checkout our Madly Learning Store at www.madlylearning.com/storeCheckout our Teachers Pay Teachers storeJoin our FREE Facebook community for teachers here: https://bit.ly/IYT-FB

I don't know about your but something tells me that I will need to be changing a few things up next week. - Students are less engaged - Parents are returning to work - The weather is hard to avoid - we all would rather be outside.   So I have a plan... I am making a month-long calendar of fun and engaging ideas that kids can do at their own pace while still covering concepts of the curriculum. I want to share with you my plan on what I want to do including different trends, tools, and projects that will hopefully boost engagement and keep kids learning.To find our highly effective, time-saving resources Checkout our Madly Learning Store at www.madlylearning.com/storeCheckout our Teachers Pay Teachers storeJoin our FREE Facebook community for teachers here: https://bit.ly/IYT-FB

The pressure is on and there is an increased pressure being placed on teachers to provide synchronous learning.   Never heard that word before?   That's because the better way to describe this overly complicated term is live teaching.   Just the thought of live teaching makes so many teachers nervous and rightly so. While there are advantages there are also some major concerns about privacy, access, and equity.   Despite these objections, it looks like synchronous learning is becoming more and more the expectation of teachers these days. From parents, admin, and the government.   So I wanted to talk about it.   In this live video, we broke down the advantages and disadvantages as well as the tools and equipment you can use to help you set your self up for success.To find our highly effective, time-saving resources Checkout our Madly Learning Store at www.madlylearning.com/storeCheckout our Teachers Pay Teachers storeJoin our FREE Facebook community for teachers here: https://bit.ly/IYT-FB

One big concern with teachers right now is how to provide assessment and feedback. I wanted to share with you my mindset when it comes to providing feedback and assessment for teachers of students. There is no one way to provide quality feedback and no it doesn't need to be all about writing paragraphs in response to everything that they are doing. Let's review the guidelines set out for teachers. Then we can explore some ideas on how to provide student's feedback. We may not be evaluating and nothing we do is going to count however I am still marking their work and some of my own feedback will be given in value out of 10. I know controversial.... but let me explain why I am still doing this even though it doesn't count.To find our highly effective, time-saving resources Checkout our Madly Learning Store at www.madlylearning.com/storeCheckout our Teachers Pay Teachers storeJoin our FREE Facebook community for teachers here: https://bit.ly/IYT-FB
