Bullet Journal for Teachers, Printable Teacher Journal

By Joyful Explorations

This bullet journal is created with the lifestyle of a teacher in mind. A bullet journal is sort of a combination of a diary and a planner. It’s flexible, so you can be creative, have fun, and make your journal work for you. The main idea is that you jot down short ideas (bullet points) instead of writing out long pages of prose. Quick, easy and fun. Perfect for a teacher with limited free time.

With a traditional bullet journal, you start with a blank book. Starting a journal from scratch can be time-consuming though. That’s where this journal can help you out, because the hard work is all done for you. It comes with premade pages, so that you can focus on what’s important to YOU. With this journal, you have the freedom to add as much (or little) of your own unique creativity as you want.

This journal is a reminder to take care of YOU! As a teacher, you take care of your students every day. Now it’s your turn to RELAX, RENEW and REFLECT.

When you purchase this product, you will receive detailed instructions for using your bullet journal. You will also get more than 60 pages that you can print, including blank pages that you can customize to meet your needs. Mix and match the pages to make your individual journal.

Please note that this journal is NOT a lesson planner.

Engaging Themed Professional Development | PD | Instructional Coaching | Admin

By Professional Development and Teacher Prep

Professional Development - Top Chef Challenge!

Are you looking for an exciting, interactive way to engage your teachers during professional development? We often expect our teachers to deliver engaging lessons to their students, but rarely do we provide equally engaging learning experiences for them. This Top Chef-themed professional development session is designed to change that by combining fun with practical pedagogy.

Overview:

In this Top Chef Challenge, teachers will participate in a teach-off where they compete to present the best teaching strategy or classroom practice related to the focus of the professional development. This format encourages creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking, while also promoting a deeper understanding of the best practices being discussed. Teachers will research a topic within a set time frame, collaborate with colleagues, and create a presentation to impress a panel of "judges," just like contestants on the popular TV show Top Chef.

By turning professional development into a fun, competitive challenge, teachers will learn from one another and be inspired by a variety of strategies they can use in their classrooms.

How It Works:

  1. Introduction & Group Formation: Teachers will be divided into small teams. Each team will be assigned a specific teaching strategy, best practice, or educational concept that is the focus of the PD session (e.g., differentiated instruction, student engagement techniques, or formative assessment strategies).
  2. Research & Preparation: Teams will have a limited amount of time to research their assigned topic. They’ll use that time to create a brief, dynamic presentation, incorporating creative elements to “wow” the judges. The presentations can include visuals, interactive activities, or demonstrations.
  3. Teach-Off & Presentations: Once time is up, each team will present their teaching strategy to the panel of judges. The judges—who could be administrators, instructional coaches, or selected teachers—will evaluate each presentation based on specific criteria, such as clarity, creativity, and relevance to classroom practice.
  4. Judging & Feedback: Judges will use a rubric (included with the template) to score each presentation. Feedback will be given on the strengths of the presentation and how the strategies can be adapted to different classrooms. Teams will also have the opportunity to reflect on their learning and how they might use the ideas they’ve seen from other teams.
  5. Award Ceremony: At the end of the challenge, the team with the highest score will be crowned the Top Chef of teaching strategies! Small prizes, certificates, or fun badges can be awarded to the winning team to add a celebratory element to the day.

Why It Works:

This PD session allows teachers to engage with content in a hands-on, collaborative way, fostering creativity and professional growth. Teachers can draw on their expertise while also learning new strategies from their peers. The competitive aspect adds excitement and motivation, ensuring active participation and deeper learning.

What’s Included in the Canva Template:

  • 7 Editable Canva Slides: Customizable to fit your school's focus or specific teaching strategies. You can add your own branding, adjust the content, and tailor the slides to suit your audience.
  • Judging Rubric: A detailed rubric to guide judges in evaluating presentations based on criteria such as creativity, practical application, engagement, and depth of research.

What You’ll Need:

  • Basic supplies such as chart paper, markers, and digital devices for teams to research and create their presentations.
  • Small prizes or certificates for the winning team to foster a fun, competitive spirit.

Outcome: By the end of the session, teachers will leave with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and an increased sense of collaboration. This professional development experience ensures that the learning is both engaging and directly transferable to the classroom, enhancing teaching practices and boosting student engagement.

GEOGRAPHY CONCEPT BASED PLANNING GUIDE BRAINSTORMING BUBBLE (PART 1) FREE

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Free download for phase 1 of planning a concept-based lesson by Lynn Erickson's teaching theory. Download and brainstorm an essential question.

Visit our Blog How To Teach Geography

There is no correct way to teach geography, but there are some best practices. When I began my teaching career in geography 26 years ago in Memphis City Schools, Memphis, TN, the district was focused on concept-based teaching — teaching to the big ideas & conceptual-based learning based upon Lynn Erikson's concept-based instruction. At first, I found it very challenging to implement this strategy into my lessons as it was a new concept and it significantly varied from the way we had all been presenting content to our students. It took persistence; it took patience, but I believe it was a huge part of why my students enjoyed geography and were able to grasp it. An example of this would be teaching the concept of "human population" and then applying this concept to world population ideas and issues throughout the world such as:

Push and pull factors of migration

Cartograms, and population density maps

Causes and outcomes of population growth and decline

China's one-child policies due to overpopulation

Africa's population decline

Europe's population decline, etc.

This conceptual-based learning worked well, and students were learning and grasping the concepts and material. It required me to spend more time on the concept with my students, but it gave them a BIG PICTURE of how variables affect population and how population trends work and are influenced. It made them think at higher levels preparing their pathways for high-level learning and working to strengthen their brain connectivity. It gave them a different viewpoint of looking at geography, rather than focusing on one small concept at a time.

Just to give you an idea of how I would/do begin planning each concept-based lesson, I would begin with a brainstorming bubble, and in the center circle, I would type in an essential question. All an essential question (they always have to use big terminology) is an open-ended question that educators use to spark student interest. I say, let' not make this harder than it has to be.

Here are examples of essential questions specific to geography:

How have Revolutions impacted our world? (This could be taking a look at the meaning behind "revolution" and empowering student understanding of this "concept" through discussing many different types of revolutions such as the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in the United States and Europe, the Russian Revolution, the Cultural Revolution, the Sudanese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution of 1949.)

Does music create culture, or vice versa?

Who is an American?

How can learning about other cultures teach us about our own?

What is the relationship between climate and natural resources?

Need an idea for an essential question? There is so much information today on essential questions than there was when I first started teaching. Simply, type into your search engine: "Essential questions for geography." and then align it with your curriculum. Others have "essentially" (no pun intended) done this work for you over the years.
