This week on Sunday Night Teacher Talk, CJ shares hallway snowstorms, Christmas confetti, and real talk about what happens when a student’s only friend cuts ties. We dive into how to rebuild class culture after an extended absence, why some teachers are ditching scripted curriculum (or fighting to), and what to say when other staff roll their eyes at esports teams.Also in this episode: strategies for ADHD-friendly lesson planning, navigating parent pressure to get rid of Chromebooks, joyful ideas for the holidays, and how to line up students without chaos. Plus—why being a teacher from another country doesn't mean starting from scratch.✉️ FREE Weekly Teaching TipsStay updated & get exclusive strategies in my newsletter 👉https://teach-your-class-off-27476.myflodesk.com/newsletter📘 Best-Selling Resources for Teachers– Daily Classroom Management Blueprint– Teacher-Student Relationship Blueprint– Lesson Planning Workshop📕 My BookTeach Your Class Off: The Real Rap Guide to Teachinghttps://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Class-Off-Teaching/dp/195160010X/🗣️ Speaking EngagementsWant me to speak at your school or organization?https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BZPBCplYTcvO8-MHm-GcCXjRcMPcGhrI?usp=drive_link🎙️ Podcast → Teach Your Class Off Radio– iTunes– Spotify📱 Connect With Me– Instagram: @teachyourclassoffofficial– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teachyourclassoff– Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19NpRYTfWn/– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-reynolds/– Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/realrapwithreynolds📩 Business Inquiries: https://teachyourclassoff.com/contact/0:00 – Welcome back + hallway snow party5:05 – Favorite colors, chromophobia, and classroom aesthetics10:40 – At-home science experiments for future teachers15:30 – Catching up after 3 weeks out of the classroom20:15 – Book rec: Let Them by Mel Robbins + what CJ is reading now24:10 – Consequences for missed work when teacher is out30:00 – High school esports + what to say to teacher haters36:30 – What to do when your math curriculum is scripted + failing42:50 – Holiday classroom joy ideas (hot cocoa, Buddy the Elf decor, etc.)47:10 – Helping students through friend breakups51:40 – Bell-to-bell instruction vs. reality (packing up laptops)55:25 – Encouraging reluctant students to participate58:10 – Helping students transition to a new culture as an international teacher1:02:00 – Classroom management tips for lining up without chaos1:05:45 – Chromebook controversy: parents want them gone1:08:40 – Tips for ADHD teachers with too many ideas and not enough structure1:15:00 – Encouraging student sportsmanship at recess1:19:00 – Novel ways to end class without tech chaos1:22:00 – Final thoughts + book CJ is loving right now
