Room 516

Teaching in public schools can be incredibly rewarding yet challenging. How can we ensure that each day brings joy and connection while effectively managing the complexities of our roles? The answer often lies in the power of routines.

In this dynamic and interactive session, we’ll explore how well-crafted routines can transform the classroom environment, enhance student engagement, and support both educators and students alike. I’ll share my top five essential routines that have proven effective across various districts, schools, and grade levels. These routines are designed not only to streamline daily tasks but also to bolster care, connection, and content delivery.

What You’ll Gain:

Routine Sharing: Exchange ideas with fellow educators and discover new strategies that work in different classroom settings.
Practical Takeaways: Leave with a ready-to-implement routine tailored to your needs.
Inspiration: Consider additional routines to enrich your teaching practice and foster a positive classroom environment.
Come prepared to engage! Please bring a simple 5-step routine from your daily life—whether it’s your teeth brushing, hair washing, or sweeping routine—to share with a colleague. This exercise will help us delve into the power of routines and their impact on our professional and personal lives.

Join us to learn how to infuse your teaching day with structured joy and efficiency. Together, we’ll turn the mundane into meaningful moments and create a supportive and thriving classroom experience for both you and your students.
