Concurrent teaching

The main challenge I faced last school year was learning how to teach both remote and in-person learners at the same time. Juggling both of these situations was tricky!

This year, I am continuing synchronous and concurrent teaching as needed while also integrating Lumio by SMART. With Lumio, my students don’t have to struggle to see what’s on the SMART Board--they see what I am teaching right on their devices! 

Career connections

As an elementary STEAM teacher, I also want to emphasize career connections for my students this year. I hope to bridge what we do in our STEAM class with what is happening in the real world. Part of how I plan to do this is by bringing in guest speakers, either in-person or virtually, to talk about their careers in STEAM and how those careers connect to what my students are learning. 

While I have a few overarching, large goals for this school year, I also think it is important to take baby steps in order to get to those large goals. That’s something I want other teachers to know, as well--it’s all about the baby steps!
