To Our Teacher Friends

So we've been observing a lot in all types of schools here in Chile - Trying to get an overall feel for how the education system works and find ways to improve the English programs at our 2 schools.

What we've found so far is a great need for classroom management techniques!  Not so much discipline wise, because there aren't real behavior problems in our schools.  But there is a HUGE need to improve the time on task and overall attentiveness of the students.  

Thankfully, we know a lot of really great teachers...

So we are asking for your help!

We are trying to compile a giant list of as many resources/strategies we can offer them for all grade levels, PreK-12.  If you have ever used anything in your classroom that seemed to work for:

- increasing time on task

- having a quiet classroom without having to say anything  

- smooth transitions

- individual/small group/whole group motivators

- overall classroom management

if you wouldn't mind emailing them to us, we will add them to our compilation!  We are hoping to do some professional development with our teachers here.

Or, if you have any questions or are just curious about our schools, feel free to email us as well!  You know how much teachers love to talk about their jobs :)

Thank you for helping us help our teachers and kids!

May your Monday be full of energy and angelic students :)
