Self-Reflection Activities for Elementary Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conference season is a great time to give students activities that encourage them to reflect on their work habits, social skills, and identify some of their strengths and weaknesses in the classroom. Whether students are filling out a basic skills form or writing freely about their strengths and areas of improvement, this can free up some time for you before conferences and can be a valuable addition to your meetings with guardians. Join us to learn some ideas that will help get students reflecting!
Conversation Building for ELLs Through SEL Activities
How can we teach English language learners to understand and effectively use SEL terms? In this session, we will build background knowledge by examining the importance of providing ELLs with the tools, resources, and language skills that they need in order to successfully tap into their own SEL needs and build meaningful relationships. Whether students are new to the language or new to the school, it is important that we explore tools that will help them build confidence through conversation. Join us as we explore specific resources such as SEL visual aids to support your ELLs. Plus, we'll give you free conversation prompts and activities to get students communicating!
Helping ELLs Make Connections to Literature Using Google Drawings
Working with English language learners and helping them to see text-to-self connections can be difficult. Join us to explore how you can use independent reading opportunites and Google Workspace's Drawings to help your ELL students identify with their own personality.
Developing Check-In Systems for Older Students
Developing age appropriate check-ins can be a challenge for educators working with older students. However, carefully crafted check-ins can bring middle and high school classes closer together. You may even find that they can help to improve students' well-being! Join us as we explore resources for designing morning, mid-day or afternoon check-in systems to monitor student behavior and assist you with planning the next steps for success with these students.
Social media is an effective tool for opening up communication between teachers, students, and parents worldwide. Join us as we discuss the best practices for implementing popular social media networks into your classroom. We’ll also show you how to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest to grow your own education- focused network. Let’s explore how to communicate with our students and engage them in learning through social media!
