Here are a few posts that are great resources. There should be an area of interest for everybody.
Classroom management idea- ask 3 before me- with a short video that you could share with students.
Executive functioning skills- This is a great eye opener. We can all relate. Several students are struggling with how to function in a classroom. Simple tasks that we assume students should be able to accomplish, like perseverance and attending to a task for a certain amount of time, is actually quite challenging. As students are now back in the classroom with a larger group of peers, we are needing to teach these essential skills. While the article focuses on technology to assist, the list of essential skills is a great reminder of key items to assist students with developing.
Strategies for second language students- the strategies would also be great for students with limited language and those with language services on IEP's.
Stress calming strategies- great ideas for staff
