15 Teacher Skills to Grow in 2025, CHECK-IN#2

Greetings tenacious snackers! You may remember that I decided back in December to choose and highlight 15 skills I wanted to grow this year. I feel like well-crafted lessons do this organically, but I was thinking more about some of the students that struggle to come in and get started working right away. There are also those for whom stamina starts to wane at the end of a lesson. For me, this can look like kids who arrive to class late, don't have materials, or some sort of conversation or other interaction with classmates happening on the periphery of class.
I teach primarly middle and high school-aged students and I'm finding that written, step-by-step directions posted at the beginning of class and the use of checklists are working very well.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
