In Yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline on how to live. By introducing these principles to tweens and teens, we give them an opportunity to recognize and enhance how they behave toward others, and how they care for themselves.

Yamas include five guidelines that support how each of us can be a good person to others, the world, and ourselves. Because teens are formalizing who they are becoming, they need to be reminded where they want to go and who they want to become so they can choose the attitudes, behaviors, and make decisions that support becoming that.  Niyamas describe the principles of being a good person. Through them, we build character which helps us on our path to becoming who we know we truly can be. We learn mindfulness and self-discipline so that we can be good citizens in the world.

These lesson plans can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom.

• Each of the 10 lesson plans breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises, and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

The Yamas and Niyamas Lesson Unit is a 47-page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. The lesson unit helps children learn the concepts of the yoga philosophy, the context for the Yamas and Niyamas in everyday life, and how to incorporate these values at school, in sports, and at home.

Using a welcome pack for parents in the classroom can be highly beneficial for another educator for the following reasons:

1. Establishing a Positive Partnership: A welcome pack helps to establish a positive partnership between the educator and the parents. It sets the tone for open communication, collaboration, and involvement in the child's education right from the beginning of the school year.
2. Providing Important Information: The welcome pack can include essential information about the classroom, such as the daily schedule, class rules, contact information, and important school policies. It ensures that parents have all the necessary details to support their child's learning and stay informed about classroom activities.
3. Building Trust and Confidence: By providing parents with a comprehensive welcome pack, the educator demonstrates professionalism and competence. This builds trust and confidence in parents, knowing that their child is in capable hands and that their involvement in their child's education is valued.
4. Clear Expectations: The welcome pack outlines the expectations for both students and parents in terms of homework, attendance, behavior, and involvement in school activities. Clear expectations foster a sense of accountability and encourage parents to actively participate in their child's education.
5. Parent Engagement: The welcome pack can include information about parent-teacher conferences, school events, and volunteer opportunities. It encourages parents to get involved in the classroom and school community, fostering a sense of belonging and engagement.
6. Promoting Communication: The welcome pack may include details about the preferred mode of communication, such as email, phone calls, or parent communication apps. This facilitates effective communication between the educator and parents, ensuring that any concerns or questions can be addressed promptly.
7. Supporting Transition: For new students or parents, a welcome pack can ease the transition into the new classroom environment. It provides an overview of what to expect, helping parents feel more at ease and enabling students to adjust more smoothly to the new learning environment.
8. Encouraging Parent Involvement: The welcome pack can include ideas and resources for parents to support their child's learning at home. It encourages parent involvement in their child's academic progress and motivates parents to take an active role in their child's education.
9. Personal Touch: A personalized welcome pack that includes a warm message from the educator can make parents feel appreciated and valued. It establishes a positive and welcoming atmosphere, fostering a strong sense of community within the classroom.
10. Facilitating School-home Connection: By providing parents with a welcome pack, the educator strengthens the connection between the school and home environments. It encourages parents to be active participants in their child's learning journey, which has a positive impact on the child's academic success.

Overall, a welcome pack for parents in the classroom serves as a powerful tool to build trust, establish clear communication, promote parent involvement, and create a supportive and collaborative learning environment for both students and parents.

Kagan believes that groups of four students are optimal. Let's face it, forming good cooperative learning teams can be a chore. Not anymore! To create effective teams, we must juggle a lot of variables: We want teams of four, but must form some teams of three or five to handle "extra" students. We want two boys and two girls per team, but when we run out of balanced sex teams we want same sex teams so the solo boy or girl is not given too much or too little attention. We want a high, high-medium, low-medium, and low ability student on each team to optimize tutoring and achievement. Creating teams can be a brain-racking, time-consuming process. This can be a helpful solution without making everything from hand or buying thier useful, but expensive software.

Each group should have two boys and two girls. This isn't always possible so I do as many as I can and then make all boy or all girl teams. If there is an odd number of students in the class then there will be a group of five or sometimes two groups of three with the remaining groups having four students. I did vary this last year with a couple of students that were boys. They were non-stop off task students when with another boy so they were placed in groups of all girls. Those girls kept them in line and they definitely had better behavior to impress the ladies. (This was not a Kagan suggestion. Just something that worked for me.)

To create my groups I needed my class rosters, the list with student Civics EOC scores, a pile of these cards that I printed on cardstock and color pencils that match the colors of the groups.

On the top of the index card I placed the student's name and their Civics EOC and reading scores and if they were a second language learner. With my second language learners, I place another student who speaks the same language if possible.

Next, I placed all of the index cards in order according to math Civics EOC scores from highest to lowest. The I divided the index cards into 4 groups, HIGH, HIGH MEDIUM, LOW MEDIUM and LOW scores.

Each group has one of each level student. Take a card from each of the groups of index cards and you have your teams.

On each index card I use a colored pencil to mark the team the students are placed in. In my classroom I have different colored stars above each of the team's, yellow, green, red, purple, pink, orange, blue and salmon. By placing the colors on the index cards I can make sure that when I change groups the students aren't place with the same peers again.

When placing the students in the groups you have them seated like this:

LOW MEDIUM LOW

HIGH HIGH MEDIUM

The high student next to the low medium can help that student when they work as shoulder partners and the high medium can help the low student in their understanding. Also having students with similar levels across from each other helps them to feel comfortable with students who are closer to their levels when working as face partners. I always had these students sitting next to each other but staggered the arrangements in the groups so they couldn't figure out who was the low or high one in each team. Groups should be changed about every six weeks.

There are desks not tables in my room which works out very well. When they take assessments I have them move to rows. We practice this the first week of school. I also noticed when I lecture they didn't pay attention so now when I lecture I have them facing forward and not in groups. (I don't lecture too much but when I do this seems to work for my kids.) It will be interesting having students this year who know the Kagan structures and expectations.
