Meine Schüler konzentrieren sich bis Ende März auf alles, was mit der Arbeit zu tun hat. Wir hatten gestern im Unterricht einige Diskussionen über Fähigkeiten, die wir unbedingt ansprechen wollten, und Studenten und Kadetten wollten sicher sein, dass wir über ein professionelles Aussehen sprachen (gute Pflege) am Arbeitsplatz. I see lots of teachers assigning […]

The Teacher Relationship Myth
There have recently been two suicides at a high school in my community. It’s been as awful as you think. I’ll spare you the details, because the details won’t do a damned thing to bring back those kids, ease their families’ hurt, or heal the gaping wound left by the loss of those kids for […]
What’s New in Book 2?
Here’s the abstract/overview from Teachers Pay Teachers. Lots of new stuff. We learned so much from the first book, and we’re bringing our “A” game this year! ********************************************** Wenn Sie berufliche Weiterbildungssitzungen absolviert haben, in denen die Bedeutung des sozialen / emotionalen Lernens hervorgehoben wird, ohne eine Roadmap für die tatsächliche Vermittlung dieser Fähigkeiten bereitzustellen, here is your […]
Book 2 Releasing on Monday. Probably. We Hope.
We’re almost ready! Book 2 is scheduled to drop on Teachers Pay Teachers on Monday morning. Ganz ehrlich, I’m a little embarrassed looking back at Book 1 now that this one is almost finished. This time, I’ve got standards alignment, cost breakdowns, supply lists, better questions, more games, links to reproducibles stored on our own server…und […]
Amazon Has Gel Pens on Flash Sale!
If you’re an E2E long-timer, you know that I “reinforce” my colleagues with gel pens. By February, it’s getting to be slim pickings in the gel pen basket; nobody is reinforced by pale yellow or brown. Time to restock! If you’ve got Amazon prime, you can get 107 gel pens for $17.00-ish for the next […]
Mögen die Chancen immer zu Ihren Gunsten stehen!
My school starts final exams tomorrow, and the natives have been suitably restless as a combination of pre-Winter Break angst/excitement, disrupted classroom routines, and exam nerves have percolated into a vicious stew of new and interesting behaviors. Gag reel highlights include: A 20-minute-long walk at 7:40am with a student who couldn’t stay awake in class […]
Neue Kursideen für soziale Kompetenzen und Ressourcen zur Karriereerkundung!
Jenny und ich haben unseren Social Skills-Kurs für das nächste Semester neu konzipiert. Nachdem Sie mit den Schülern darüber gesprochen haben, was sie lernen möchten, Ein mit überwältigender Mehrheit genanntes Thema war die Karriereerkundung. Wir werden weiterhin der Grundstruktur folgen, die auf der Website und im E2E-Buch beschrieben ist, Planen Sie jedoch, jeden Blocktag Zeit einzuplanen (wann […]
Behavior Interventions: Breaking it Down
As the new program has grown and changed this semester, I’ve found myself with little time for blogging and writing lessons. The day-to-day demands are substantial, and my fatigue (and burnout) have been the worst they’ve been since I was a first-year teacher. A major challenge Jenny and I have faced is follow-through in our […]
Making Friends at School Costs $0.20
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know I’m all about offering colleagues some nice tangible reinforcers to grease the wheels. Incidentally, some people at the new program hate my guts anyway…but they still liked getting Krispy Kreme a few weeks ago (watch Groupon–they run a “$20 worth of donuts for $10” […]
