#187: Creating Calm in the Midst of Chaos

Adva

It's November... which means holiday season is approaching and that could bring up stress and overwhelm for many teachers. It is no secret that I was struggling at the beginning of the school year and during fall break, I put systems into place that would create a semblance of calm. As I've said many times, the energy you bring into your classroom is the energy your students will feed off of. 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Systems in place both in life and in the classroom helps a TREMENDOUS amount when you feel chaos is happening all around you.
  • Creating a pace that works for you outside of the classroom will help set you up for more success in the classroom
  • It can be easy to be REactive rather than PROactive in the classroom but it is critical for the calm you want to create inside your classroom.
