If you are like me, you think you have lost it this year!
On-line teaching is not easy.
In-person teaching is not easy.
Doing both AT. THE. SAME. TIME. is not easy!
What is my advice to do all this?
- take one day at a time
- keep it simple
- set clear, simple and a few expectations
- try to stick with principles, not trends (it is exhausting to follow all the trends and the shiny objects that are appearing on social media to be the cool on-line or in-person teacher!)
- try to go early to bed
- drink a lot of water
- move, move and move! Your hippocampus love that and it will pay you by conserving your memory! We do need to remember all the things we need to do! So, let’s move!
Speaking about principles, one of the principles that we cannot afford to lose is to FACILITATE COLLABORATION among our students, whether they are 6-feet apart or miles while connecting virtually!
Give the space and time for collaboration, because when 2 minds get together, THREE ARE AT WORK!!!
Who doesn’t want that?
Besides the third mind, students can bond, grow and bloom when they work in smaller groups!
We know this, we just have to try to have this modality often. We can start little by little.
You and your students will LOVE the results!
