Introduction to the 10 Ways to Make Your Teaching More Effective, Sustainable, and Ethical

Introduction to the 10 Ways to Make Your Teaching More Effective, Sustainable, and Ethical

 
I recently spent endless hours watching teacher TikTok videos. While not peer-reviewed, I feel I can call this serious research. The truth is I had a bad case of Covid and most teacher TikToks make me laugh out loud. But, amidst all the jokes, I also found a very dark and recurring theme. It seems droves of teachers either seriously thinking about or are desperate to leave the classroom.
 
I entered the profession nearly 20 years ago. At that time, I knew fifty percent of us would leave within the first five years of service. It can be grueling work with very few rewards; this feels particularly demoralizing when you get your paycheck. As a teacher and single mom, I know I was never able to pay my mortgage, bills, and car payment. Now, I have many resources for teachers who want to earn more money. I have been helping teachers become teacherprenuers for years now. That said, what I genuinely advocate for is freedom. I want you to know you have options. If you adore teaching and want to make more money without working much harder, I can totally help! Or, if you know the profession is wrong for you, I can also help you there.

 
Regardless of which path is right for you, I am writing this series because I believe most of us would stay if we experienced better conditions. We can all agree teachers need better pay. While we work together to ensure that, I have to share with you how to find the joy of teaching now!

 
Thus, today I am beginning a 10-week blog series. Its title is: “10 Steps to a Sustainable, Ethical, and Effective Teaching Practice.”

 
Before I get too far, I need to share my values. Teachers deserve uplifting. We deserve celebration. And, as intellectual professionals, we deserve recognition. Also, ALL students can learn and deserve highly-effective, joyful classrooms. Critically, only nourished, rested, and well-supported teachers can foster highly-effective, joyful environments. Thus, when I prepare to talk about education quality improvement in any form, I do so with the utmost understanding and care.
 
One of my favorite teacher quotes is: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” (I count Maya Angelou as one of my favorite teachers.) Similarly, when I work with teachers, admin, and/or students, I do so in the “NJZ” or “The No Judgement Zone.” I cannot see how we will ever move forward together if we do not end the shame and blame game. To make the urgent impacts our students need, we have to band together. This requires exploring and dismantling our internal shame mechanisms. It also calls for looking at how we unintentionally shame others, including students.

 
From my own experience, I know that working harder than ever and not seeing the fruits of my labor hurt. And, frankly, I felt ashamed. In my work with teachers, I always remind us that what humans are ashamed of, we hide. In the teaching practice, this looks like Miss Cufaude returning to the teaching practices that I have already mastered and that I perceive to be effective behind the safety of my closed classroom door. I openly admit I did this for years. I’m not ashamed of what I did before I knew better and how I barely survived without the support I desperately needed to be a truly effective teacher. Not one bit. This common phenomenon of shame leading to hiding inspired the name of my podcast: Opening the Door.
 
I will never pressure teachers to remain in the classroom if they know they belong elsewhere. But I also know that better conditions and adequate support would retain thousands of us. We should all know the joy of teaching. Further, the 10 steps I will lead you through have a vast and measurable impact on the student learning process. Thus, I want to share this with you. May you find all the joy!

 
What I know about joyful educators is:
 
  1. We feel heard, respected, and supported as autonomous professionals;
  2. We feel competent at what we do and clear on why we are doing everything we are asked to do;
  3. We know how to frequently and quickly measure student learning and are celebrated for the real and daily impact we have;
  4. Expert, mentor instructional leaders support us;
  5. We feel a deep sense of belonging amongst other impact-devoted educators; and
  6. We are focused on the highest priority learning so that we are never trying to or being asked to “do it all.”
 
The only reason I have stuck around this long is that there is abounding hope! Under certain conditions, teachers and students thrive. I have committed my entire professional life to fostering these conditions. You deserve to thrive and I am here for you!

 
If we want to thrive together, we have to stick together. We have to commit to continuous learning, unelearning, and relearning. We need to take better care of ourselves. We have to ditch the shame and blame game. We have to stick to what we know to be effective teaching and classroom management. And, we need to measure our impact frequently, consistently, and collectively as well as celebrate our successes!

 
Sounds easy! Well, it is not.

 
Again, the great news is we know what works. In fact, we know so much thanks to folks such as Dr. Anita Archer, the DuFours, Dr. John Hattie, Dr. Jan Hazbrouk, Dr. Robert Marzano, and so many more. We have the solutions right at our fingertips.
 
We know for sure that excellent instruction maximizes student learning experience. Thus, I ask myself over and over, “if we know what works, why isn’t it working?” To be fair, the better question is: “If we know what works, why isn’t it working for every student?” For example, some students do show growth in incidental teaching environments. (Incidental teaching environments can be defined as indirect, unclear, unstructured, and/or unintentional.) Depending on your student population, the majority of your students could show growth regardless of the quality of the instruction. That can be a bitter pill to swallow. Yet, most of us serve students who need accelerated learning, and they require an urgent dose of an entirely different type of teaching. They need highly effective teaching. Sadly, we are rarely taught and coached in these best practices or how to sustain them.

 
In 2021, I wrote a book, Lessons In Joy: The Journey to Save Our Sacred Teaching Practice and Heal Our Hearts Along the Way. My mission was to share the solutions to these challenging problems. I also want to attend to the emotional and psychological toll this profession can have on us as educators. The book has three parts:
 
  1. Authentic Connection;
  2. Learning Obsession; &
  3. Team Interdependence
 
I created these three parts, or terms, as three umbrellas. Each umbrella covers language and teaching best practices that are familiar to us. That said, I wanted to illustrate how so many things that seem separate should be working together to help you and your students. Now, I am going to unpack these concepts into 10 steps. Each step is an action item. Over the next ten weeks, I will walk you through each step, toward joy, and unpack the most critical aspects of effective teaching. For now, I have listed each step under my book’s “umbrellas” to illustrate how they connect.

 
I. Authentic Connection:
 
1. Establish Credibility, Safety, and Cultural Responsitivity with Each Student
 
2. Elicit and Honor Your Students’ Authentic Desires for Learning and Make What You Teach Connect to Their Prior Knowledge and What is Relevant to Their Needs and Desires for Learning

 
II. Learning Obsession:
 
3. Be an Avid Student of Your Teaching Practice and Impact on Student Learning
 
4. Be Crystal Clear in Your Teaching and Why the Learning is Relevant to Your Students
 
5. Intervene Early and Often when Students Struggle Using Various Researched- and Evidence-based Teaching Strategies and Routines
 
6. Engage ALL Students in the Learning Outcomes and Self-Reported Grading, i.e., How to Self-Monitor Their Own Progress
 
7. Verify Your Impact on Student Learning Daily, Weekly, and ALL the Time!
 
8. Provide Frequent, Clear, and Targeted Feedback to ALL Students
 
9. Engage ALL your group of Students in Authentic, Accountable Classroom Conversation

 
III. Teach Interdependence:
 
10. Collaborate, Make Decisions, & Focus with a Healthy, Instructional Team
 
 
Thus next time, I will unpack: “Step One: 1. Establish Credibility, Safety, and Cultural Responsitivity with Each Student.”

 
Until then…

 
Your Teacher Friend,

5 Ways Technology Can Enhance Learning in the Classroom

Adaline Haynes

Adaline Haynes

From Lesson Planning to Classroom Management

Classroom success is subjective. When it comes to success, you get out of it what you put into it.


Here are My Top 5 Tips for Classroom Success:

  1. Flexibility

  2. Lesson Planning

  3. Classroom Management

  4. Building a Classroom Culture

  5. Boundaries


Flexibility

For me, the top thing you need to be successful is flexibility. A lot of things get thrown at you as an educator. Covering classrooms, missed specials, IEP meetings, parent meetings, etc. In a second your whole schedule for the day could be completely thrown off. A successful educator is quickly able to adjust on the fly. I have known too many fellow educators who let a change in schedule disrupt their entire day, week, month, and year. Don’t be that person.


Lesson Planning

Every school and district is different in what is required with lesson planning. I found success in my classroom by simply writing page numbers and having an idea of what I was doing for each day. I only made copies in the morning for what I needed for the day and sometimes scrapped, or rearranged my plans to best suit, my students. Now, some districts/schools require you to write out formal lesson plans for each day (which is insanity), but I’m telling you, for me, a lesson plan didn’t fail because I just wrote a skeletal outline of what I was doing.

Tubesock Dances on the marketplace has a beautiful set of planners for Google Sheets. You can check them out here: https://www.joyfulclassrooms.com/marketplace/product/2022-planner/


Classroom management is a scary concept.

I think many people balance that line between too soft and too firm. I always made sure that my students knew that we could have fun, but we need to make sure that they still know that work needs to get done, and they need to be respectful. I’ve always said if it hurts someone physically, or emotionally, we shouldn’t be doing it. I see a lot of new teachers, (not all), who are looking to be friends with their students. While you should be friendly, you still need to show your group that you are the one in charge. If you are looking for respect from your students you won’t get it by acting like their friends. Have you ever heard how middle schoolers talk to their friends? I rest my case.

In regards to consequences, you need to follow your district plan accordingly. I always find a single warning, followed by action works the best whether that’s recess detention, after-school detention, or in-school suspension. Kids catch on quickly when you dish out empty threats. It opens the door for kids to keep pushing the limit.


Building a Classroom Culture

My favorite part of a new school year was meeting my new community of learners. Getting to know my scholars was so much fun. I always did a house points system in my room, so groups of students worked together to use positive behavior. We do mental health check-ins, meditation, and group talks. I make my room a safe place for all students. I make it known that they can come to me with anything, and it stays between us (unless it involves their safety or the safety of someone else). We celebrate victories and share about our weekends. They like to hear about your own kids, and see you attend special events.

This Social Emotional FREEBIE is great for building your community of learners: https://www.joyfulclassrooms.com/marketplace/product/social-emotional-check-in-freebie/


Set Healthy Boundaries

I can’t say this enough, SET. HEALTHY. BOUNDARIES. That means no emails outside of school. You should only be checking your inbox during school hours. What did parents do before the invention of the email? They called, or left a message, maybe wrote a note. You are not on-call 24/7. You are allowed to take 24 hours to respond to a challenging parent. You are allowed to leave work at work. I never brought home grading or planning. My time at home was for my family. I know that some of you are reading this going “WHAT!? When did you get all of your stuff done?!” During the day. I got it done during independent work time, planning time, the little time before school, or a small amount of time after school. I made decisions about things that needed to be graded. I didn’t grade everything that they did. It’s okay to throw stuff away. Just make sure you have a healthy relationship with the word “no”. “No, I don’t have the time to complete that. No, I don’t have time to add that to my plate. No, I can’t take that on.” As cliche as this sounds, make sure you are taking care of yourself also.

Teacher marketplaces offer access to vendors from all over the world, enabling teachers to benefit from global resources. From language trainers to educational technology providers, these platforms often feature a wide variety of top teacher-centric vendors who provide services for everything from classroom management to curriculum planning. Each marketplace has its own unique set of vendors, so it’s important to research the options to determine which ones best meet your needs. Whether you’re looking for supplemental materials or an entire curriculum platform, make sure the vendor you choose has a good reputation and offers quality products.

Identifying the right teacher marketplaces for your needs can be an important step in increasing brands and brand ambassadors.

Selecting a Vendor Teacher Program Based on Your Income Goals 

Choosing a vendor teacher program based on your income goals is important, as they often offer different levels of service and pricing plans. If you’re looking to supplement your existing teaching income or earn additional money online, there are plenty of options available. For example, some vendors may offer access to their entire library of services for a monthly fee, while others may charge for individual products or services.

Benefits of Creating These Sample Downloads as Vendors

Creating teacher downloads that rank the best and are searched the most as vendors is a great way to increase visibility for your educational business. Many students and teachers rely on these materials to supplement their learning experience, so having quality resources available helps make the lives of educators easier. With the right downloads, you can provide valuable content while also improving search engine rankings and increasing your brand visibility.

Advantages of the day of the dead coloring sheet downloads:

Creating teacher downloads that rank at the top of searches with keywords is a great way to make educational content easily accessible. Day of the Dead coloring sheet downloads is an excellent example of a type of teacher download that can be used to engage students in a fun and interactive lesson structure. The colorful representations of traditional Mexican imagery help students learn about cultural and educational knowledge in a visually appealing way.

The interactive lesson structure is key when it comes to engaging students and helping them understand concepts. By using Day of the Dead coloring sheet downloads, teachers can break down complex topics into easily digestible pieces that get students actively involved in the learning process. These sheets provide visual representations that encourage student participation and understanding.

Day of the Dead coloring sheet downloads also has an important cultural component, as they help students to learn about traditional Mexican customs and beliefs. By exploring the different elements in the coloring sheets, teachers can introduce students to new cultural ideas that may not be part of their everyday lives but still provide rich educational experiences.

Advantages of label the bones downloads

Engaging activities are especially effective when included in teacher downloads. If materials are interesting and interactive, students will be more likely to participate and understand the content. Games, puzzles, and hands-on activities that require students to utilize their imagination are often particularly effective in stimulating learning.

In addition to providing engaging activities, teacher downloads can also help enhance student understanding and memorization ability. By breaking down topics into smaller sections or chunks of information, it is easier for students to comprehend and remember the material. Including visuals such as diagrams or charts can also help facilitate student understanding and memorization of specific concepts.

Math Olympics downloads

Creating teacher-led math Olympics can be a great way for students to learn problem-solving skills, build confidence, and stay engaged in their studies. With math Olympics, students have the opportunity to participate in creative and competitive activities that challenge them both mentally and physically. These types of activities provide an outlet for students to think outside the box when it comes to problem-solving and develop a sense of accomplishment when they successfully complete their tasks.

Math Olympics gives students the chance to work together with their peers, using different strategies and techniques that allow them to come up with innovative solutions for difficult problems. Through this collaborative effort, students can gain an appreciation for working in teams, which is often invaluable in the workplace. In addition, math Olympics also provide students with an opportunity to learn from their teachers and peers, as they can ask questions and get feedback from each other on how to better solve a problem.

Importance of Creating Downloadable Products that Rank Well

Creating teacher downloads that rank the best and are searched the most as vendors is a great way to increase visibility for your educational business. Teachers can obtain downloads from vendors who specialize in providing Day of the Dead coloring sheets, label the bones activities, or math Olympics competitions for their classes. These types of downloads can be used to make learning fun and engaging. By using these resources, teachers can save time that would have been spent on creating these activities themselves.

Google searches are a great way to help teachers find the best downloads they need for their students no matter if they are in Kindergarten or High School. By searching through vendors who offer teacher downloads, teachers can quickly find the type of activity they are looking for without having to spend hours searching for the right resource. This makes it easier for teachers to utilize resources more efficiently and effectively as vendors.

In addition, downloads for teachers can also be a great way to increase visibility for educational businesses. By creating activities that target specific age groups or subject areas, educators can use these activities to highlight their business and increase visibility among potential customers. This helps to increase brand awareness and spread the word about their services.

Overall, teacher downloads can be a great way for educators to save time and energy when creating activities and lesson planning for their classrooms. With the help of Google searches, educators can quickly locate resources that are perfect for their needs and utilize them more effectively. By doing so, they can increase the visibility of their educational business and create more engaging activities for their students.

Tips for Creating Successful Downloadable Resources for Teachers

Adaline Haynes

Adaline Haynes

When it comes to providing educators with downloadable resources, it’s important to remember that one size does not fit all. What works for one teacher may not work for another, so it’s important to create a variety of options that can be tailored to each individual’s needs.

Teachers are always looking for ways to make their lesson planning easier. Downloadable resources can be a great way to supplement their existing teaching materials and provide students with additional tools to help them learn more effectively. Creating professional resources for teachers requires careful preparation, planning, and execution.


Tips to Keep in Mind when Creating Successful Downloadable Resources for Teachers

Keep it simple

Teachers are often pressed for time, so providing them with concise and easy-to-understand materials will make their lives easier. Additionally, when creating these resources, make sure that they are clearly organized in a way that is easy for the teacher to understand and use. Resources should be structured with an outline or table of contents so that the material can be quickly referenced when needed.

It’s important to provide teachers with options when it comes to how they view and use the material; this could include printable versions, online interactive tools, and more. By giving teachers the power of choice, they can make the most out of your resources and use them to their fullest potential.


Make it visually appealing

In order to capture the attention of teachers, it is important to make the resource visually appealing. This can be done by using bright colors, interesting graphics, and easy-to-read fonts. Ensure that the graphics used are high-quality and relevant to the topic, that text is legible and clear, and that colors are chosen carefully to be both eye-catching and consistent with the message being conveyed.

Making sure these elements come together correctly will go a long way in creating an enjoyable and effective user experience. Additionally, it is important to include clear instructions on how to use the resource, as well as any relevant tips or advice for making the most out of it.

Make it relevant

When creating downloadable resources for teachers, it is essential to make them relevant to the current classroom environment. Resources should be applicable to their curriculum, age of students, educational goals, and any special considerations needed for their specific classes. This way, they will be more likely to use and appreciate the resource. For example, some may be looking for activities for younger children while others are looking for stem resources for teachers. Consider the relevancy of all your content so the right teacher can find it!

Additionally, taking into account the time of year when creating these resources can also be useful—considering if there are any seasonal activities being taught in the classroom that could be used as part of your resource. By keeping these elements in mind when creating downloadable resources for teachers, you can ensure that the material is well-received, used effectively and best for professional learning.


Consider your audience

When creating downloadable resources for teachers, it is important to consider your audience. It is essential to determine whom the resources are intended for and tailor them accordingly. You should think about what types of topics may be interesting or relevant to your target group, as well the language and terminology used and making sure it is suitable for the intended audience.

It is also important to consider the diversity of teachers and how they may use the resources. Think about their role in the classroom, any subject-specific interests or topics, and preferences for visual or written materials. Is your audience for high school, Kindergarten or special education teachers? Are you providing lesson plans, fun activities, professional development resources or helpful resources for classroom management?

All of these factors should be taken into account when creating downloadable resources for teachers so that they can get the maximum benefit from them. Finally, make sure to provide guidance on the use of your resources, as well as any other relevant information such as copyright or primary sources.


Include instructions

When creating downloadable resources for teachers, it is important to include instructions on how to use the resource. This will help teachers get the most out of the resource and ensure they are able to effectively utilize it in their classrooms. It is also beneficial to provide examples of how other educators have used the resource in their teaching practices.

For example, if the resource includes a lesson plan template, providing an example of how to fill out the template can be very helpful for teachers who may otherwise not be familiar with the format or terminology used on the template. Additionally, including tips and suggestions on how to customize the resource to meet individual classroom needs or learning objectives will provide teachers with an additional layer of support when using the resource.


Promote collaboration

Collaboration between teachers and students is a key factor in successful learning. By providing tools that allow students to interact with each other and their teacher, you can help create a more engaging atmosphere in the classroom. Collaborative activities can help foster teamwork and problem-solving skills that will benefit students in the long run.

By utilizing collaborative tools such as online discussion boards or group projects, you can help ensure that teachers are able to effectively collaborate with one another and their students. This will result in a more enjoyable learning experience for everyone involved.

Utilizing collaboration tools within your downloadable resources can also help teachers save time by streamlining communications and making great resources more accessible to everyone. Through collaboration, teachers can work together in order to create an exceptional learning environment that is both engaging and effective and helps teaches students more effectively.


Encourage feedback

It is important to encourage feedback from teachers who use the resource. This can help to ensure that the materials are relevant and useful in their classroom settings. Teachers often have valuable insights into how best to use these resources and may be able to provide helpful suggestions for improvement. Asking for feedback from teachers shows them that their opinions and expertise are valued and that their input is taken into account.

This can be done by providing a survey or questionnaire, as well as emailing individual teachers asking them to provide their thoughts. Providing forums or discussion boards where teachers can communicate with each other and ask questions can also be a great way to encourage feedback.

This also helps to build relationships between teachers, administrators, and educational resource providers which can be invaluable for improving education outcomes. By valuing feedback from teachers and creating an open dialogue about their needs, it is possible to create better materials and provide a more effective learning experience for students.

Creating successful downloadable resources for teachers requires careful planning and consideration. It is important to keep the content simple and concise, make the resource visually appealing, and include clear instructions on how to use it in the classroom. Additionally, promoting collaboration among teachers and encouraging feedback can help ensure that the resource is used to its full potential.
