    Become a Happier Teacher: Start Your Accomplishment Bank Today

    Welcome to this episode of our podcast for burnt out and overworked elementary school teachers. Today, we'll be discussing the importance of celebrating your wins each week and how this can be a catalyst for continued success in the classroom. As teachers, it's easy for us to celebrate others but much tougher to celebrate ourselves. At the end of the day, we often find ourselves focusing on the negative - the unfinished to-do list, a student's poor assessment, or a rude email from a parent. It's important to remember that society, admin, and parents may not always remember to celebrate us, and even our own brain may not remember if we aren't intentional about it. So, what's the solution? Creating an "accomplishment bank" and making a deposit into it every week. In this episode, I will give you simple directions for to get your accomplishment bank started. Recognizing wins each week becomes a catalyst for continued success in the classroom. Our brain loves to tell us when we aren't good enough. It's time to remind your brain how incredibly amazing you really are. So, start making your own accomplishment bank and deposit into it every week. And if you're looking for more practical strategies to beat teacher burnout and rekindle your love for teaching, be sure to check out my brand-new book, How to Love Teaching Again. Learn more at notsowimpyteacher.com/book.  This hands-on guide is full of strategies that will help you stay in the classroom while still having time for a personal life. You can find it wherever books are sold online or head to notsowimpyteacher.com/book to read more about the book and some fun bonuses we've created for you.

Teaching is going to look a little different right now, but you have amazing teaching strategies in your tool belt, and you can take so many of them into a virtual classroom with just a  few small tweaks!   I’d love to know what other ideas you come up with, so head over to our Instagram @notsowimpyteacher to share those with me!    Resources Mentioned:  www.jenniferserravallo.com  Join The Reading and Writing Strategies Community Facebook Group  Follow @JSerravallo on Twitter  Follow @jenniferserravallo on Instagram    Want more Not So Wimpy Teacher tips and tricks?

    Giving Students Feedback About Their Writing

    Welcome back to the Not So Wimpy Teacher podcast!   Today we are talking all about how to give students feedback about their writing.    You know how much I love to talk about writing, but did you know that when I was a new teacher, I actually dreaded teaching writing? I just didn't know how to help my students be better writers. No one taught me that in college.   My lessons were too broad, and I really struggled to give good feedback to my writers that would help them grow and make changes.    Do you also struggle with this? If you do, you’re not alone!    Today I want to share some tips and tricks with you that helped me. I know that they are going to help you give effective feedback as well.   Episode 92 Takeaways:  + Focus more on content than mechanics. + Pointing out every error doesn't help students to become better writers.  + Feedback doesn’t have to be complicated.  + Use a simple rubric to guide feedback.  + Give one positive comment for every negative comment. + Frame feedback as questions.  + Focus on the skill you're currently working on. + Giving feedback in small groups makes it easier for you to get to each student in less time.    Don’t forget to take our quiz to find out what 90s pop star you are as a writing teacher. This quiz will give you tailored resources based on your results. It’s so much fun, and I can’t wait to see your results!    I’d love to know what other ideas you come up with, so head over to our Instagram @notsowimpyteacher to share those with me!    Resources Mentioned:  How to Teach Students to Edit Their Writing - Blog Post Group Writing Conferences - Blog Post Free Rubrics  Take the Quiz: Find out what 90s pop star you are as a writing teacher Want more Not So Wimpy Teacher tips and tricks?
