LST January Timeline 

As always, timelines are suggested approximations intended to be fluid and flexible, recognizing caseloads vary, experience in the role can be a factor, and you may be in the midst of new learning (e.g. CB-IEPs). Being responsive to and compassionate with ourselves, our colleagues and our students is the most important item on our agenda.

Pause   Plan ...

... beginning with the environment 

The old adage considers when we notice a flower is not flourishing, we do not change the flower, but rather the environment and the conditions for the flower to bloom brightly. The same holds true for us. The environment we create sets the stage and changes the game for anyone who enters and stays.

One place to start is the CAPP site on Support for Learning website which begins by looking at the physical and psychologically impactful factors within the environment. 

One tool to consider: Stuart Shanker‘s Classroom Environment Checklist.
The Power of a Pause: Why It Helps to Stop Before Deciding To make better decisions you need the power of a pause. If you asked me what‘s the one piece of wisdom everyone should take, it would be to pause before deciding. It is as simple as that.
