"What did you do over break?ā Sounds like such an innocent question, right? It seems like it's a great way to reflect on vacation and have students share. But there's a student who might be waiting for the ground to swallow them when you ask this. A teacher once told me that every year, knowing her mother was sick and her family could not afford trips, she would calculate when it would be her turn to share about her break. As the moment got close, she would raise her hand, rush to the...

(Scroll down for the NEW monthly teacher planner!)Thereās this joke Iāve told my students: There was a man who loved archery. He was always looking for new tips and tricks. One day, he was walking through a forest and saw a house with bullseyes everywhere. Dead center. Every. Single. One. He knocked on the door and asked the man who lived there, āHow do you do it? Iāve never seen aim like that.āThe man smiled and said, āOh, itās easy. First I stick the arrow in the wall. Then I draw the...

āCan you put us into chatgpt and turn us into lego people?ā my kids, huge lego fans, asked me.I explained to them why I wouldnāt do that. Anything uploaded to ChatGPT is stored on OpenAIās servers and I wouldnāt upload photos of kids (or my students!) to ChatGPT! It did spark an idea though. A few months later, I took out a large canvas and pencil and I outlined lego people, one for each person in our family. Each kid then painted themselves, with their favorite outfit choice, their faces,...

Iāve been seeing this a lot on my feed these days: Definitely been feeling this, too - Iāve been meaning to email all month... and itās just been a holiday for the past few weeks š Now that Tishrei is behind us and school is fully back, Iāve been thinking about my own personal āVāYaakov Holach Lādarkoā I was listening to a podcast with Carol Dweck, and she was remembering how her middle school classroom was arranged based on perceived intelligence! Imagine having your seat determined by your...

Last week I got an awesome email from Chanie of Coffee & Pi. It was sooooo good, I immediately thought āI have to share bulletin ideas, too!ā These are my top 5 over the years, although you may not be able to implement all 5 in a given year, depending on the class chemistry and your personal dynamics. 1) We love questions! I made a board, or sometimes just a āquestion cornerā with a big, visible envelope, labeled āLo Habashan Lomed.ā Every time a student asked a great question, I made sure to...

āYou should have teachers sign up to get the marketing package,ā my friend (whoās also a business coach) told me. āThat way, you'll grow your email list.ā āBut I donāt want to,ā I said. Because my mission has always beenāand will always beāto give teachers less work, not more. You already have enough on your plate. I want to help you cross things off your list, not give you homework. So here you go: everything you need to start sharing the contest today is right here: Click here for the...

I was trying to go to canva this morning, but it kept going to cava. I realized my N key is slightly pushed out, making it harder to push down. So to get the ānā letter, I had to push much harder. Why is it human nature to only otice when things are wrong? Dennis Prager calls it the āMissing Tile Syndrome.ā We donāt notice perfect ceilings, only those which are missing some tiles. And teachers (and principals!) are probably familiar with this too. So many times we get feedback or text...

I get quite a few text messages that arenāt actually for me.Spam texts, wrong numbers, maybe someone trying to reach whoever had my number before me. When my sister texted me āCan you speak to my 160 11th graders about being a counselor like how to speak to kids and all?ā I replied: āWas this text for me? š I donāt do public speakingā That text was probably for my aunt, I figured. āYes!ā She said! āEvergrowingeducator! Can you give some education tips?ā I laughed. I had started...
