    • RE: Keep using your old stuff or start from scratch?

      When I switched positions about a year ago, this is how I explained it to the teacher who was replacing me:

      My lessons are always evolving and I've never taught a class the exact same way twice. There are many factors that go into this decision but some of them are:

      1- Unique student needs
      2 - Improving student engagement
      3 - Implementing new ideas
      4 - Editing things that aren't working

      With that being said, I always start with what I've done in the past and use that as a base (unless the curriculum has changed).

      Justin - meeting teachers where they are at is sooo important! I try to get a feel for where teachers are at as I greet them when they first arrive at a training. How do you assess where your group is before/during a training session?

      When working with educators, we are always modeling best practices aren't we? I think sometimes presenters who are not in the classroom "forget" to use best practices for an engaging lesson when presenting!

      As a teacher, I value trainings where it feels we are having "adult" time and conversations with friends/coworkers. If the training is a good balance of professionalism along with some opportunities to laugh and reflect, it creates an environment that people want to spend time.

      Trainings that don't address my needs are always the least effective. Teachers have a lot on their plates and if a training is not helpful, they will always be thinking about what they could be doing with that time instead.
