To be the best teacher I can, I look for ways to restore balance in my classroom, teach in ways that protest the restrictions I face, and protect my students’ humanity. #TeacherSky #EduSky #SubstackSky

From letmeknowhowitgoes on IG: “Played around with a little something today.

Yesterday, I was talking to teachers about how we might help students to notice when they are distracted and name the distraction as a way to mindfully pivot. I played around with this student-facing chart today.”

#EduSky

Drawing titled “I’m having a hard time learning because …” with six boxes showing different distractions in class. The window: Drawing of a classroom window showing trees and a playground. Classmates: Students sitting at desks and chatting. Classroom noise: A large ear with sound waves and an exclamation point. Materials: A student playing with scissors and a paper airplane. Daydreaming: A student at a desk imagining a beach and rollercoaster inside a thought cloud. Other: Miscellaneous classroom items like sanitizer, tissues, a broken pencil, and a beeping alarm.

Drawing titled “To get myself back into learning I can …” with six boxes showing strategies for regaining focus. Move my body or space: A student moving to a new spot in the classroom. Set a goal: A target with goals written on it, like “Do 1 more problem” or “Read 10 pages.” Take a quick break: A clock with text “Take 5!” Find a ‘silent teacher’: Classroom resources like notebooks, posters, and anchor charts. Make a plan: A planner with assignments and to-do lists. Other: Headphones, fidget toys, and a student using a desk divider.

Hi, Lars! DM me and let’s figure it out!

We can’t always be in the room - But M2 can.

M2 quietly collects bite-sized feedback on key teaching practices - engagement, questioning, & pacing, without requiring a full, formal observation.

It's an extra set of eyes, observing so teachers can review on their own time. #EduSky

It is really really difficult right now to focus on the learning/classroom with all else going on in education that is absolutely disgusting in terms of the short-term and long-term consequences for children.

There’s a coaching truth we rarely say out loud: time is tight.

How do we create space for teachers to think, process, and grow — when we barely have space ourselves?

That’s where tools like M2 change the game. 🧑‍🏫 #EduSky
