High Impact Instruction Observation Form
Jim Knight recently sent out a high impact teaching survey/observation form for coaches to use with teachers- We've modified it to a Google Doc and added a few more questions to the planning, assessment, and learning section. Feel free to make a copy of this doc and use.
Headspace
Headpsace is FREE for K-12 Educators. It provides mindfulness exercises and SEL for both students and teachers. "Whether you’re feeling inspired to connect more with your students or you’re looking for a new way to bring calm to your classroom, Headspace can help students build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Better focus, less stress, and happier thoughts are just a few minutes away."
