Welcome Back!
I hope that everyone had time over the summer to rest, refresh, and be ready to start a new year.
This week's blog is not a long one. Something short to start us back at it.
If you are new, weekly (usually but not next week, I'll be out) I send out a link to this blog. I will have links, videos, memes, and researched information regarding mindfulness, mental health, and other topics that can support us as we support our students.
Below is a link to a video regarding rules, boundaries, expectations, and standards. Take a minute to watch and I encourage you to think about how this relates to your class, your students, and you.
Something to Think About by Dr. Raquel Martin
What are your boundaries?
- What am I committed to doing or not doing?
What are your rules?
- What am I trying to control?
What are your standards?
- What do I allow or not allow?
What are your expectations?
-What do I wish others will do?
As you set up your classroom structure, create rules, and establish a class contract it might help to ask yourself the above questions.
