Techy_Margaret Nov 30 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 Our HS students are often involved in lots of extra concerts, performances, events which can mean late nights too! #NoVAedchat

In reply to @timstahmer

timstahmer Nov 30 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Wouldn’t a year round schedule work better for schools? Take extended winter break, rather than a way too long summer one? #novaedchat

RashidaJGreen Nov 30 @ 8:09 PM EST

that's happening to my MS daughter this year. There also seem to be a lot of field trips 🤔#NoVAedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

Techy_Margaret Nov 30 @ 8:09 PM EST

So many of these apply to both students and staff! #novaedchat

MsSchmidt17 Nov 30 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Difficulty attending. Anticipation and possible anxiety due to change in routines. We talk schedule changes early to help! #novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Nov 30 @ 8:10 PM EST

...and even then it's hard to get back in the story after a long break. @tifferdu #NoVaEdChat

In reply to @tifferdu

JTillman1999 Nov 30 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: When routines change students feel anxious & nervous. Recognize that behaviors may be different. Plan for this! Be patient. #novaedchat

NoVAEdChat Nov 30 @ 8:15 PM EST

And it's time for Q2 #NoVAedchat

timstahmer Nov 30 @ 8:15 PM EST

Summer slide is probably more about irrelevance of the info to the kids than about time. #novaedchat

A2: I think just recognizing it and talking about it beforehand helps a lot! Then we can develop coping strategies :) #NoVAedchat

Having a new baby in the house is just one long disruption to “normal”. But so worth it. #novaedchat

A2 I think it's important to be upfront about changes in schedule. As much notice as possible helps! #NoVAedchat

As someone who always keeps a notebook and pen handy, I definitely like the concept of #bulletjournals #novaedchat

A2: Not having things #driven 4Ss so Ss return in search of test date. WL is easy 2review, add & move ahead w/no time stress. #NoVAEdChat

Q2: Communication is key! Ts and Ss know changes in advance they can adjust accordingly #NoVAedchat

A2 Be flexible with Ss. Continue w/ familiar structures within new part of schedule, Allow Ss some ownership over the change, #novaedchat
