4 Tips for Teachers Shifting to Teaching Online | Edutopia
- Tasks with few instructions often lead to the greatest amount of higher-order thinking, as students figure out what to do within defined parameters.
- You need a single digital platform that your students can always visit for the most recent and up-to-date information.
- You might want to check out a unit I created on probability and statistics to see how I provided instructions and set up checkpoints for my students.
- To effectively manage your time and sanity, you will want to prioritize longer, student-driven assignments and tasks that buy you time to keep planning future units—and that get your students off the computer. Focus on building toward long-term projects where students have autonomy and a clear set of checkpoints and deadlines that need to be met. When possible, create opportunities for students to discuss what they’re learning with their families and include an element of student choice to really build engagement.
- What your students will miss the most is the human connection that is cultivated in your classroom.
- While it can be tempting to focus on content in your distance learning assignments and instructional videos, what matters more is creating structures for personalized touchpoints with your students.
- Create a structure and stick to it. Your students will see your investment and know that you care about them.

It’s important to bear in mind that cultivating an engaging distance learning experience is hard. It takes time and an incredible amount of patience. If you are new to the experience, you’re probably going to feel like a first-year teacher again. That’s OK! Tackle the challenges step by step, keep your students updated on your progress, and stay positive. You can do this!

How To Manage Emotions At Work: Life Kit : NPR
- Whoever you're giving feedback to, make it specific, make it actionable. That shows you care about helping someone evolve and helping them level up.
- Venting is useful for a small period of time, if you're doing it to someone you trust.
- If you're feeling a really strong emotion, you sometimes just need to calm down because you're not in a rational state [to] figure out what you want to do next. [Venting] becomes negative and actually detrimental to your own success when it turns into rumination, which is just venting to vent.

What other ways do you recommend working with a coworker that kind of just rubs you the wrong way?
Mollie West Duffy: One of them is to remember that they might have something going on you don't know about.
- As much as you can, limit exposure to this person. Put a bubble around yourself.
- When you're so invested in your job, that's when a co-worker that maybe drives you a little batty becomes this huge problem because work is everything to you. Just taking the time to invest in non-work things can be a really valuable way to come back to the office the next day with a little more distance.
