Hello, InTA community!
I hope your weekend offered a bit of rest and recharge.
Here’s a simple prompt to ground us this week:
What’s one challenge you regularly face in your day-to-day teaching life?
Let’s open up space to support and learn from each other.
Let’s get to know each other a little better
Which one would you pick?
Morning duty or after-school duty?
Parent-teacher conference or staff meeting?
Group project or individual essay?
What’s your go-to song to pump yourself up for the day, and why does it give you that extra boost?
I’d love to hear your favorites and the stories behind them — let’s create the ultimate energizing playlist together.
Drop your song and why below!
We’ve all seen some surprising things in class… but this one’s too good not to ask:
👉 What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve ever found in a student’s backpack?
Drop your story in the comments — let’s have a good laugh together!
If you could magically eliminate one teaching woe … which of these would you banish forever with one wave of a magic wand?
Endless staff meetings that could’ve been emails
Copy machine jams right before class
Students “forgetting” their homework…again
Grading a mountain of essays at midnight
Tech that crashes during your perfect lesson
Sometimes, it’s the little tweaks that can make the biggest difference in how our students engage and learn. Whether it's adjusting a classroom routine, trying a new teaching method, or using a simple tool, small changes can lead to big results. I’d love to hear about the changes you’ve made that have had a positive impact!
