Tell us what you teach, how long you've been at it, and one thing about your classroom culture you're actually proud of. First-year teachers, you're just as welcome here as the thirty-year veterans.
A redirect, a phrase, a signal, a system. What did you take from a colleague that changed how your room runs and who do we need to thank for it?
A kid melts down at 10:15 and you have to teach fractions at 10:20. What do you actually do in those five minutes to get yourself regulated before you walk back in? I don't think we talk about this enough.
Most of us aren't given a protected block for this. It has to live in transitions, line-ups, the two minutes after recess. Where have you found room for it inside a schedule that's already full?
