Our return guest this week is Soukaine Berri, a high school teacher in Windsor, Ontario. Her classroom stories illustrate how taking 5 to 10 minutes per class can help you as a teacher to know your students in the content subjects. Soukaine has 2 great questions for her Community Discussion time every day. She reflects on how much a teacher can and should share about themselves with students. You’ll want to hear her story about how she listened to the student’s voice and implemented a walking break at the mid point of the long class time. Gotta love what happened to the walk in colder weather when students advocated for a change.
