How are you?

How are you? We may want to use the teaching phases: Anticipation, Reflection, Disillusion, Survival, Rejuvenation (Know that people will be responding to your posts and offering their insights and advice.) Start with what is working? What challenges did you face this week? (classroom management, discipline, content...) What whoo-hooo celebrate a success? (about your kids, your team, your school, your own successes) What advice have you figured out?

I love your posts! I think we need new labels. While the phases of teaching give us the roller coaster labels, I think there are richer labels such as setting/meeting goals, and the ahhhhhs and Ahhh haaa's of teaching. So if you want to use a different label, or use more than one that is great. Thanks for sharing. I share your work with my preservice teachers. Thank you for helping them with the realities of teaching. This week my students asked how to have conversations about race relations and current protests going on in our country, in the classrooms and schools, while continuing to focus on standards?
