Tricks of the Trade: A Toolkit for Teachers
We can all agree that college taught us very little about how to be an effective teacher in the classroom. Everything we learned came from our host teacher and our student teaching experience. We build the plane as we fly it is a common expression in our profession.
Just as we expect our students to do, we learn from each other. Many of my best practices came from ideas shared in a collective community of teachers. As we look forward to the fall and a new year, this course is designed to help us expand our knowledge and our toolkit for the classroom. Ideas will be shared and generated through discussions and tried and true practices. Classroom management, lesson design, SEL, and work life balance will be explored. Not only will we be adding to our repertoire of tactics, tricks, and tips we use to juggle all of the obligations our profession entails, but we will be creating a professional learning community to rely on and help one another in these trying times.
