Engage your teachers just like your teachers engage their students!

Engaging professional development is crucial because it captures teachers' attention, making the learning experience more enjoyable and relevant. It ensures active participation, leading to better retention and application of new skills and strategies. By fostering enthusiasm and motivation, engaging sessions contribute to a positive learning culture, ultimately benefiting both teachers and their students.

These professional development presentations are all editable and can be tailored to the needs of your teachers and staff members.

Engaging Stations Professional Development (Canva Copy Link)

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention. It's now opportune to revisit and rediscover the hands-on resources available for classroom use or those that may have been overlooked.

Ron Clark 55 Essential Rules Slides (Canva Copy Link)

The daily focus is on one rule at a time, spanning from Rule 1 to Rule 55. You have the option to print a weekly slide to share with parents or use it as a classroom guide. Additionally, you can download the slide as an image for social media sharing or use it on your smartboard for teaching and modeling each week's rule. Each slide features the corresponding Ron Clark rule accompanied by a relevant picture. The editable slides allow customization to align with your school's preferences, including the option to replace pictures with images of your students exemplifying the rule.

Engaging Top Chef Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

This Canva Template Presentation revolves around the "Top Chef" theme, featuring a teach-off challenge for teachers to showcase their expertise in the focused teaching strategy or best practice emphasized in the professional development. Within a specified time frame, teachers will research the topic, create presentations, and present in front of judges, fostering a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. Similar to the show "Top Chef," this format encourages teachers to learn from each other, gaining insights into diverse strategies for classroom implementation.

Social-Emotional Learning Activities BUNDLE: Self-Regulation, Cool Down Corner, and Self-Care for 1st and 2nd grade

This social-emotional activities bundle includes THREE corners to help your students with self-regulation, self-esteem, and relationship-building for PRIMARY GRADES.

If you're looking for the bundle for upper elementary, please click HERE: SEL Corner Activities BUNDLE for Upper Elementary

You will find a conflict resolution corner, 2 choices for a calm down corner (one file includes people clip art and the other file includes dot dudes clip art), and a self-care corner.

***NOTE: THIS BUNDLE IS MORE DISCOUNTED BECAUSE YOU WILL LIKELY ONLY USE ONE OF THE TWO COOL-DOWN CORNERS.

The descriptions are as follows:

CONFLICT RESOLUTION CORNER:

Social-emotional learning has never been more important!  This conflict resolution corner outlines STEP-BY-STEP instructions for helping students to solve conflicts with one another.  This file was created for 1st and 2nd-grade students. If you'd like to take at the upper elementary file, you can find it here: Conflict Resolution Corner for Upper Grades

Don't have a corner or bulletin board space?  That's okay!  You will also find smaller versions of the step-by-step posters that students can glue into a notebook.

Are your students learning online?  No worries!  We've got you covered with a digital version in Google Forms.  Students will be taken through a series of questions to help them resolve the conflict.

This social-emotional learning file includes the following:

• an image of a sample conflict resolution corner already set up
• letters for the title of the corner (Conflict Resolution Corner...)
• title poster (Identify Conflict: What is my conflict?)
• 8 posters listing the steps of resolving a conflict
• 4 reference pages for the corner (tips, feelings chart, asking for help, possible solutions)
• small versions of every poster/card
• black-and-white versions of every page

This file was created for students in 1st and 2nd-grade but would work just fine in a 3rd or 4th-grade classroom as well.  Using it with younger kids would require a great deal of support (the vocabulary used in the resource is above a primary level).

COOL DOWN CORNER (this bundle includes TWO options for this file):

This cool-down corner was designed to help students regulate their emotions.  Teaching students to be more mindful and to develop self-control has never been more important.

You will find everything you need to create a safe space for students to decompress and calm down in a comfortable, supportive setting.

PLEASE NOTE: You have access to TWO FILES for a calm down corner. One file shows dot dudes clip art and the other file shows kid clip art. Simply choose ONE of the files!

This file includes:

• a quick and handy one-page guide with steps to follow to cool down
• a cool down recording sheet to reflect on shifts in mood and emotion
• half-size poster sheets with step-by-step instructions for calming down
• feelings poster
• feelings cards (bind them with a binder ring, if you choose)
• cool down strategies poster
• 15 individual posters for cool down strategies
• card sized cool down strategies (use a binder ring, if you choose)
• yoga cards with poses
• cool down affirmations (1 page)
• cool down printable resources (that coincide with a few of the strategies posters)
• black and white versions of all pages

SELF-CARE CORNER:

This self-care corner was created to help students navigate their self-esteem and self-image. Students will learn how to take care of themselves and make healthy choices. If there was ever a need for this type of activity, it is NOW!

You will find everything you need to create a safe space for students to work on self-care.

This file includes:

• a self-care corner sample image

• teacher reference pages outlining each poster

• bulletin board letters (Self-Care Corner...)

• 10 posters for the self-care corner that outline an activity for students

• 16 speech bubbles with positive affirmations that you can place around a mirror

• 10 printable worksheets that coincide with the 10 posters

• black-and-white versions of the posters

• digital instructions and link for Google Slides

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in these files (the greeting and closing fields).

PLEASE NOTE THAT BOTH OF THESE FILES INCLUDE A SPECIAL 2020 LETTER TO ADDRESS EDUCATION CHANGES AS A RESULT OF THE CORONAVIRUS. COVID-19 WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE WAYS WE DELIVER INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS AND THESE LETTERS ADDRESS THAT UNCERTAINTY.

NOTE: The body of these letters ARE NOT EDITABLE. The only editable fields on these letters are the greeting and signature fields. If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, these letters are NOT for you!

Please read the description for each product below:

BACK TO SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

This welcome back to school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students. Each letter comes in a variety of border choices and black-and-white versions.

• The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well the corresponding backgrounds in black and white.

• The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

• The new letters that have been added for 2020 can be found in the BEGINNING of the product file. You will find them on the first six pages following the instructions for editing the text boxes in the greeting and signature fields.

All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter, if you choose. If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask prior to purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

END-OF-YEAR LETTER TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

AN ADDITIONAL SPECIAL 2020 VERSION OF THESE LETTERS HAS BEEN ADDED to account for the changes that occurred in the 2020 school year due to the COVID crisis. These letters make note of the fact that your school year ended early unexpectedly due to the coronavirus.

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option so that you can send paperless letters remotely (via email or through Google). Look at the final page of the GOOGLE SLIDES FILE for instructions on sending these end of year letters remotely!

NOTE: The body of these letters are NOT EDITABLE. If you want a letter that you can edit, this is NOT the product for you. The greeting and signature field are the ONLY customizable portions of this product.

These editable (the greeting and signature fields are the ONLY editable portion of the letters) end of year letters to students and parents include an encouraging letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message and is ORIGINAL).

The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well as similar backgrounds in black and white.

The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter, if you choose. If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein.

AGAIN, THE BODY OF THE LETTER IS NOT EDITABLE!

ALL THE LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did NOT copy a letter that I found online and retype it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.
