Breathing Exercises to Lower Stress
“Self-care is not selfish” has been a trending message for a while. In the Teacher’s Corner Breakroom, we embrace it and strive each day for mindfulness and accountability check-in’s. Therefore, each month, there will be a minimum of one Hug YourSELf live event. This month, we are going to breathe our way to calm with HMH mindfulness experts.
Culturally Responsive Teaching: I See You
Building relationships in the first weeks of the ’20-’21 school year will be unprecedented. We begin the school year continuing our living history. At any point this summer have you asked yourself, “How will my students know that I see them when we are physically distanced regardless of mode of delivery?” Venola will guide a discussion and share three student-centered strategies that align to current environments, emotional states, and allow teachers to kick-off the first days of class-building community to celebrate culture and student assets. Register today to join this conversation!
Teacher’s Corner Open House: Connecting to Families and Community
Teacher’s Corner launched in July and we are thrilled that you have joined us. Have you heard the news? Family Room is being added to student accounts on Ed. This space is designed to connect families to information, recommendations, and ready-to-go instructional support for the their HMH Programs. In this session, you’ll meet a few of our teacher contributors, teachers just like you!

Join us for this open house session and take a tour of Family Room.

Phonics Fit
Summer is a wonderful opportunity to begin a new fitness routine, and building the reading brain requires key repetitions and a set schedule. With 10 minutes a day of explicit phonics instruction, early learners can crack the code. However, let’s not let the word explicit take the fun out of getting phonics fit.

Bring on the Math Chatter
The one doing the talking is doing the learning. Now that you have built the path for trust, risk, and engagement within the first weeks of school, how do we get students not only talking but math talking? In this session, we will address these essential questions: Who is doing the talking? Whose ideas are valued? Join in the discussion and strategy practices for creating a math culture where each and every person’s voice is heard and valued.

Ed: Your Friend in Learning
Mastery of navigating a new platform and learning the digital resources available within the instructional program on the platform takes time. Efficiency is established in time–the first three weeks are just the beginning. In fact, as you become more comfortable with Ed, the HMH platform, more questions may arise. That’s why we wanted to provide you with an opportunity to connect with an HMH coach and other teachers to get your questions answered and to give and receive advice about everything Ed has to offer.

Amira: Your Questions Answered
The first weeks of school are a mash up of getting started, transitioning into procedures, building a community and becoming more familiar with your instructional programs. So what is better than having a session dedicated to getting your questions answered? No need to wait for a return email. We want to provide you with an opportunity to connect with an instructional coach and other teachers to answer questions and both give and receive advice about everything Amira.

Maximizing Amira to Meet the Individual Needs of Students
Amira provides teachers with quality time back. So now that 90-140 hours of time previously scheduled for administering assessments can be reallocated to data analysis and instruction, what are the ways to best utilize this gift? In this session participants will discuss digital tools and interact with reports to plan the “next right step” whether it’s instruction, practice, or conferring to meet the needs of each student.

Best Practices for Teaching Into Literature Virtually (6-12)
Remote instruction happens live and asynchronously, but neither has to be “one size fits all.” Generally, best practices begin with knowing the best resources to use and then transitioning into a weekly or biweekly pattern of differentiated small groups. It all starts with making decisions quickly and efficiently. In this session, tips will shift to making personal practice “a-ha moments.” There will also be time to explore options for integrating data-driven differentiation into daily lesson planning for online instruction.

Into Literature (6-12): Getting Started

Into Literature: Prioritizing, Planning & Pacing (6-12)
If a teacher makes an average of four decisions per minute, then having the majority of those be confident, intentional, and just in time begins with prioritizing, having a strong sense of lesson navigating, and designing the instructional minutes for a universal design of learning. This first just-right session will model leveraging Resource Overview and Creating Assignments in Ed as the initial go-to cognitive planning tools.

Into Literature: Your Questions Answered
We don’t expect our students to master their grade-level skills their first weeks of school–so we don’t expect you to master your Into Literature curriculum either.
