Tan shares 5 specific strategies to meaningfully integrate emotional intelligence into our already packed teaching schedules.  The framework he will share can be applied K-12 and the specific examples that he will share come from his teaching experience (5-12). He even allows us to see and listen to his synchronous time with his students.  This was a highly interactive session and so you might want to check out the chat transcript and the video version at shiftingschools.com under the resource menu.

This recorded webinar is designed for classroom teachers to explore the idea of what "safe space" means in classrooms— digital or otherwise. For space to truly be safe, it must take into consideration racial and power dynamics that exist in our schools. This webinar will explore the connection between these things and provide examples of how to create racially and culturally conscious safe space in classrooms.

Jeff talks through some of the conversations he has been having with school leaders as well as state organizations and state governments on the future of education after the pandemic. Check out our free PDFs for educators as shiftingschools.com

Another free webinar from Shifting Schools. This time we learn from Steve Murphy and JB Blair. Two teachers in the same district find ways to have their classes work together on projects across schools and across grade levels. Community comes in many forms, creating one within your district is just another way to support students in understanding how to work in a networked world. Links: Slide Deck Padlet Link

When we go through disruptions like this it’s a struggle. It’s a struggle to be open to and have hard conversations with ourselves and with our colleagues around the changes that we’re going through. In this free webinar, Jennifer Abrams walks us through important planning strategies to help us authentically engage with the dialogues that challenge us.
