Let me know below - are you a U-shape, rows, or small clusters of desks kind of teacher?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you are considering the arrangement of student desks and other learning areas, you will need to ensure that the placement of your furniture meets the needs of your students and compliments your teaching style. Tables in rows, small clusters, large group, and U-shapes all have their advantages and disadvantages. Each will encourage certain behaviours and discourage others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teacher selected seating is an excellent way of establishing control. Once you feel there is a good sense of control and self-management by students, you can start letting them choose who they sit with. This gives ownership and responsibility back to the students. If they muck up, then they lose the privilege of sitting and working with their friends.

What are you if you have 3?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truth💣 School holidays are great, and it's been great spending more time with each and all of my boys, but can I just say that I am excited about Tommy going back to preschool today? And then Will has a robotics camp later in the week which will be great for him! We've also got swimming starting back up as well as some preseason sport activities!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn't mind the quiet that COVID gave us. But my boys are all active boys, who eat A LOT! (Heaven help me when they're teenagers). I'm looking forward to having organised sport to entertain them of an afternoon and weekend again and provide them with their own activities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know that staring at the ocean waves can change our brainwaves frequency and place us in a mild meditative state? The sound of the water ebbing and flowing helps to destimulate our brain as well!

I have always felt a sense of calm and connection when I’m at the beach. When I’m feeling stressed I try to go for a walk along the beach to feel the sand beneath my toes, the water lapping at my feet and the sounds of the waves to calm me.

Do you have a special place you head to that calms you?

Do you want to become more organised and efficient

Do you want to become more organised and efficient in your data recording this year?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are my tips for recording student data in the upcoming school year:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Use templates to record data⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Outline your timeline for recording each set of data (e.g. beginning and end of the year, Term 2 and 4 etc⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Ensure that the system you use is consistent across the school⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get your systems in place before school begins so that it's one less thing to worry about! My new Assessment Data Tracking Sheets are fully editable and will help you get organised for the new school year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There are few things more stressful for teachers than the start of a new school year, am I right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that you've had some time off to relax and recover, you might want to start thinking about some tactics to keep your stress level under control for the upcoming year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 5 ways I have found that help me overcome the stress and overwhelm we can often feel at times:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Taking time for myself;⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Not comparing myself to others;⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Lowering my expectations (of myself and those around me);⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Self-reflect rather than self-loathe; and⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Look good to feel good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Making time for your health and well-being should

Making time for your health and well-being should be a priority.

It can be easy to stop making time for yourself, especially when the to-do list seems to keep growing, or the kids are being super needy. But I learnt the hard way that if you’re not okay, then things won’t be okay!

Throughout uni and when I first started teaching, I made time to go to the gym, coach & play netball and touch footy. It helped me both physically and mentally. It gave me a reason to step away from the computer. It gave me a reason to be someone at a certain time. It gave me a break and helped me reset my mindset.

So as a new school year looms, find ways to make time for yourself and schedule them in. Maybe it’s getting up a little earlier and going for a walk. Maybe it’s getting a group of friends together and doing a fitness session. Maybe it’s getting your hair and nails done. Whatever it is, don’t feel guilty - you are important and worthy!
