For Principals & Administrators (by rating)

Writing sub plans doesn't have to be super stressful!

Make sure your guest teachers are prepared to take over your room by preplanning the institutional knowledge that you use every day to ensure a well-functioning classroom. 

While this isn't a substitute (pun intended!) for a daily plan, having these two sheets can help to set your mind at ease knowing that whatever the day has in store, your guest teacher is prepared with the resources and contact numbers that they need to be successful!

The Contact Page provides information on who to contact if they need

• Content Help
• Procedural Help
• Discipline Help
• Medical Help
• Student Guidance
• Translations and English Language Learner Support
• School Resource Officer
• Administration
• You (if you want!)
• as well as your classroom room number, class phone number, and how to pronounce your name (that way they are not scrambling in an emergency to figure out how to get someone to the room!)

This purchase is for a digital download of a zipped folder. You can unzip the folder using a variety of free resources, including what is built into the Windows Operating System. Inside the zipped folder are five different colors of the same contact file (pink, blue, purple, green, black and white)

Each page is a fillable pdf. This allows you to not only type once, print...but edit as needed without having to redo the entire sheet!

Are you an instructional coach or administrator seeking a fun and engaging professional development activity or icebreaker? This Deal or No Deal-themed session offers light-hearted, non-content-based questions that are perfect for fostering interaction and enjoyment

This professional development presentation includes the following: 

• Silly types of teacher-related questions based on the theme of Deal or No Deal. 
• Question Example: Your classroom is equipped with the latest tech and gadgets, but the Wi-Fi password is 32 characters long, and you have to re-enter it every morning. Deal or No Deal?
• Editable Canva Slides (You will need a Canva account)
• The option to have prizes for teachers. 
• “Deal or No Deal” Music is embedded into the slides.

Game Directions for Teachers:

As a group, please choose a basket or present to open when a deal is made. 

A question will be posed to your group and you will discuss as a group and answer deal or no deal.

If your group accepts the deal, you will give back the prize that you originally took and take the prize that is offered. You will not know what the prize is until you accept a deal or wait until the end of the show.

This professional development opportunity is engaging and set up to build relationships between teachers and teachers and administrators.  When teachers are engaged, the transfer of learning to the classroom happens. 

The Canva presentation is also fully editable, allowing you to customize it to meet your teachers’ specific needs.

Engaging teachers during professional development is crucial for several reasons:

1. Improves Effectiveness: Engaged teachers are more likely to absorb and implement new strategies, techniques, and information presented during professional development. This leads to more effective teaching practices and better student outcomes.
2. Promotes Active Learning: Engagement fosters active participation, discussion, and collaboration among teachers. This active learning approach helps in retaining information and applying it in real classroom settings.
3. Encourages Reflective Practice: When teachers are engaged, they are more likely to reflect on their own practices, identify areas for improvement, and make necessary adjustments. Reflective practice is essential for continuous professional growth.
4. Increases Motivation and Morale: Engaging professional development can reignite teachers' passion for teaching, making them feel valued and supported. This boosts their motivation and morale, which positively impacts their performance and job satisfaction.
5. Facilitates Collaboration: Engaged teachers are more likely to collaborate with their peers, share best practices, and support each other. This collaborative culture enhances the overall learning environment and promotes a sense of community within the school.
6. Addresses Diverse Needs: Engaging professional development can be tailored to address the diverse needs and interests of teachers, making it more relevant and meaningful. This personalized approach ensures that all teachers benefit from the training.
7. Promotes Innovation: When teachers are engaged, they are more open to exploring new ideas and innovative teaching methods. This willingness to innovate can lead to the adoption of more effective instructional practices and improved student learning experiences.
8. Builds Capacity: Engaged professional development helps build the capacity of teachers to handle various challenges in the classroom. It equips them with the skills and knowledge needed to address diverse student needs and create a positive learning environment.
9. Ensures Sustainability: Sustainable change in teaching practices requires ongoing engagement and reinforcement. Engaged teachers are more likely to continue implementing new strategies and approaches long after the professional development sessions have ended.

Free download for phase 1 of planning a concept-based lesson by Lynn Erickson's teaching theory. Download and brainstorm an essential question.

Visit our Blog How To Teach Geography

There is no correct way to teach geography, but there are some best practices. When I began my teaching career in geography 26 years ago in Memphis City Schools, Memphis, TN, the district was focused on concept-based teaching — teaching to the big ideas & conceptual-based learning based upon Lynn Erikson's concept-based instruction. At first, I found it very challenging to implement this strategy into my lessons as it was a new concept and it significantly varied from the way we had all been presenting content to our students. It took persistence; it took patience, but I believe it was a huge part of why my students enjoyed geography and were able to grasp it. An example of this would be teaching the concept of "human population" and then applying this concept to world population ideas and issues throughout the world such as:

Push and pull factors of migration

Cartograms, and population density maps

Causes and outcomes of population growth and decline

China's one-child policies due to overpopulation

Africa's population decline

Europe's population decline, etc.

This conceptual-based learning worked well, and students were learning and grasping the concepts and material. It required me to spend more time on the concept with my students, but it gave them a BIG PICTURE of how variables affect population and how population trends work and are influenced. It made them think at higher levels preparing their pathways for high-level learning and working to strengthen their brain connectivity. It gave them a different viewpoint of looking at geography, rather than focusing on one small concept at a time.

Just to give you an idea of how I would/do begin planning each concept-based lesson, I would begin with a brainstorming bubble, and in the center circle, I would type in an essential question. All an essential question (they always have to use big terminology) is an open-ended question that educators use to spark student interest. I say, let' not make this harder than it has to be.

Here are examples of essential questions specific to geography:

How have Revolutions impacted our world? (This could be taking a look at the meaning behind "revolution" and empowering student understanding of this "concept" through discussing many different types of revolutions such as the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in the United States and Europe, the Russian Revolution, the Cultural Revolution, the Sudanese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution of 1949.)

Does music create culture, or vice versa?

Who is an American?

How can learning about other cultures teach us about our own?

What is the relationship between climate and natural resources?

Need an idea for an essential question? There is so much information today on essential questions than there was when I first started teaching. Simply, type into your search engine: "Essential questions for geography." and then align it with your curriculum. Others have "essentially" (no pun intended) done this work for you over the years.

We all know bullying is a big problem in schools across the globe.

Each year I like to host an anti bullying event. I set up a table with anti bullying pledges and during lunch, encourage students to come and sign them. I collect all the pledges and place them all over school to remind students of their promise.

Could be great for the beginning of the school year or during anti bullying week.

Great way to build community!
