This Teacher Life

Do you get 100% attendance at your parent teacher conference?

Do you get 100% of people engaged at the table during those conferences?

I’ve got an idea that can make BOTH of those happen.

And the best part these conferences will create LESS work and LESS stress in your teacher life.

Sometimes in order to make parent-teacher conferences between, we just need to remix them with raisins!

Because this year, we can all be hosting raisin reunions.

Are you ready to find out more on how to host the best conferences of your career?

You are in the right place!

How are you currently feeling in your position in education?

Do you feel like you are supported as staff?

Do you feel like your kids are supported as students?

Sometimes all our school needs is a little social-emotional support for everybody!

But how do we do that?

In this episode I dive into some ideas that I’m using as a K-12 SEL teacher.

I’m confident they can easily be applied to your current position and it will bring positivity, purpose, and passion back to your people!

When was the last time you asked students questions like…

What do you really want teachers to know about you?

What would you say to your teachers if you knew they would listen without judgement?

What can I do in this classroom this year to help decrease your frustration and increase your engagement.

Yes, kids want things like snacks, snapchat, and to sleep in class.

But kids actually want WAY different things then that too and their results to these questions are surprisingly reasonable.

In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I give you all the details of a transparent conversation I had with my students that totally worked.

It is easy to replicate and once you have the roadmap, I promise it will create positive momentum for the rest of the school year.
