CedHoward Going through the Motions

As we come down to the final two weeks of the semester, I can honestly say that I have found myself going through the motions a few times this year. It not that I feel overwhelmed with my students or anything going on inside the classroom, it is more so the changes being passed down from the district. This year our school district has rolled out the Social Emotion Learning Model which is suppose to be executed during our 90 minute advisory period every Wednesday. A lot of our students do not take the weekly advisory period serious so often they skip the class which sometimes lead to total chaos. What has led to me feeling like Im just going through the motions is the lack of time we get as teachers to prepare for a new model that has a variety of modules that change every week.
