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.

Professional Development: Addressing Behavior Issues
Are you ready to energize your next professional development session? Transform the traditional PD into an interactive and unforgettable experience with a Survivor-themed twist! This unique approach engages teachers in challenges that mirror real-life classroom scenarios, promoting collaboration, teamwork, and strategic thinking around behavior management.

Behavior Management PD / Pedagogy
The session kicks off by organizing teachers into “tribes,” where they collaborate from the start by creating a tribe name. Once in their groups, they’ll be presented with behavior management scenarios—common classroom challenges that need immediate attention. Within their tribes, teachers will discuss and develop strategies to de-escalate or address these issues effectively. Each tribe will select a representative to share their group’s approach with the other teams.

Over the course of the PD, teachers will engage in four additional scenario discussions, each designed to encourage collaboration and learning from one another’s experiences. By the end of the challenges, tribes will vote for the individual in their group who contributed the most creative or effective strategies. Winners from each tribe will receive a prize, adding a fun and competitive element to the session.
The Survivor theme is enhanced throughout the PD with integrated background music that plays automatically via embedded YouTube links on the slides, adding to the immersive experience.

Customizable Focus
The content of the professional development can be tailored to fit the specific needs of your staff. Whether you want to focus on behavior management or incorporate subject-specific strategies for math, reading, or any other core skill, the PD can be adjusted to align with your goals.

Editable Presentation
This professional development presentation is fully editable in Canva, allowing you to adapt it to the unique needs of your school or district. The presentation can also be easily downloaded as a PowerPoint or Google Slides file. To download, simply click the "Share" button in Canva, then select "Download." From the download options, choose the file type that best suits your needs.
