Episode 76: Routines for Remote Learning




The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education show

Summary: <p>When school is in session, whether knowingly or not, you likely have a routine. That set of tasks you do regularly, perhaps even unconsciously, from the time you wake up through your commute and continue straight through til the final bell rings and you head home for the day. And while everyone’s typical routine may look a little different, the COVID 19 outbreak has almost certainly caused a major disruption to your daily schedule. With the sudden shift to remote learning, you may feel like you are at a loss for how to manage your time and what to prioritize when things seem so far from ordinary.</p> <p>When working from home, it can be more challenging to put together routines, but it can also be that much more important for creating and maintaining healthy boundaries.  When your home is your office, it can be tempting to have no exact end time to your work day or to try to take each morning at a leisurely pace. While far from experts, we’ve each started settling into our new routine, and we are hoping that this episode inspires you to do just the same.</p> <p><strong>We know that everyone's routine will look a little different based on what your home situation looks like, what grade level you teach, what your school expects-- and a myriad of other factors. While we are routine enthusiasts, we don't think there is one right way to go about your day; as a result, instead of a prescriptive checklist, we have provided you with a framework—in the form of this very episode and a free, fully customizable workbook and checklist so you quickly determine your priorities and develop a routine for what actually works for you.</strong></p> <p><strong>In this episode, you’ll hear:</strong></p> <p><strong>-What does NOT work for us in terms of our new morning routines</strong></p> <p><strong>-Changes we’ve made to our classroom routines from day 1 of remote learning til now</strong></p> <p><strong>-Why a classroom routine students can expect is great—but isn’t synonymous with being rigid</strong></p> <p><strong>-A few things that you can celebrate crossing off your typical after school rings to-do list</strong></p> <p><strong>-Why boundary setting is extra important during remote learning</strong></p> <p><strong>Links mentioned:</strong></p> <p><strong>-Episode 22</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.edverything.com/podcast/2019/time-tasks-trauma-troubleshooting-common-teacher-stressors-with-amanda-murtaugh-lmhp?rq=amanda%20murtaugh"><strong>https://www.edverything.com/podcast/2019/time-tasks-trauma-troubleshooting-common-teacher-stressors-with-amanda-murtaugh-lmhp?rq=amanda%20murtaugh</strong></a></p> <p><strong>-Our TpT Store to get your free workbook and checklist </strong><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Remote-Learning-Routines-Teachers-Work-from-Home-Workbook-and-Daily-Checklist-5431307"><strong>https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Remote-Learning-Routines-Teachers-Work-from-Home-Workbook-and-Daily-Checklist-5431307</strong></a></p> <p><strong>-Episode 9</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.edverything.com/podcast/2019/healthy-routines?rq=michele%20hamilton"><strong>https://www.edverything.com/podcast/2019/healthy-routines?rq=michele%20hamilton</strong></a></p>
