Weekly Inspo Vids - Week Twenty Nine
Hello!
Spring break is almost here, and let’s be honest—everyone is feeling it. The sun is shining (or at least trying to), attention spans are shrinking, and the energy levels are off the charts. This time of year always brings a mix of excitement and restlessness, but we’re in the home stretch! Hang in there, and know that all the effort you’re putting in still matters!
To keep you going, we’ve got two great resources for you this week. First, a quick, encouraging video on student engagement. Then, a super practical Emailable PD on creating quick resilience in students, backed by research but easy to apply in your classroom. I hope your teachers find both useful.
Enjoy!

Weekly Emailable PD
Use in staff newsletters, emailable PD messages, etc.
Ever notice how a little win can make a big difference? That’s exactly what the "remembered success effect" is all about—students are more willing to tackle tough challenges when they experience a bit of success along the way. This research shows that structuring assignments with a few moderately difficult problems at the start or end can boost confidence, motivation, and persistence. Read on how your teachers can apply this in their classrooms and help their students push through challenges with a little extra momentum!
