5 Ways Daily Agenda Slides Benefit You, Your Students, and Their Families
Are you searching for a way to keep your students on task and increase their independence? What if you could accomplish both and save yourself HOURS of time each week?
You can achieve all of the above by using one simple resource.
My Daily Agenda Slides are designed to be incredibly easy to use and to save you tons of time. This low-to-almost-no prep resource requires you to simply edit the day’s slide and lesson before your students enter the classroom.
And just like that, students are ready to get to work, either virtually or in person.
You come to this blog for tips and strategies to help you plan more effective lessons and to save time and increase efficiency through organization.
These slides help you do both.
They act as a support to your lessons, as students know what is expected of them and what they need in order to get it done.
And the use of an editable, digital resource means you are saving space AND saving time.
Teachers LOVE this resource. I’ve received a lot of great feedback, including this teacher who said:
“Our morning schedule has changed due to Covid restrictions, so our students are now entering our classroom over a 30 minute block of time. These slides have been a LIFESAVER! The format is consistent, so my fourth grade students are able to look and follow the directions easily. The graphics are appealing but not overwhelming. The colors are calming and the format is very clean to look at. I started with the October slides, but loved it so much, that I bought the bundle. My students are in a routine, and I do not every (sic) want to be without this product. It is hands down the BEST morning slide product I have ever purchased. It's worth every penny and more!" - Shelly P.
Daily Agenda Slides Benefit Students And Families, Too
You know how these slides simplify your morning and save you time. But they benefit students and even parents and families, too.
1. All Students
Using Daily Agenda Slides consistently helps students build executive functioning skills. They see exactly what needs to be done each morning. This allows them to self-manage, plan out the time it takes to complete tasks, gather and organize supplies for the day, and more.
2. Students with 504 Plans
Daily Agenda Slides provide additional support to students who need it. You likely have students who require accommodations such as chunking directions, visual supports, and repeated directions. Using these slides makes providing those accommodations easier and more consistent for you and your students.
3. Absent Students
Helping students keep up and managing absent work has never been more challenging. You will continue to have students who are absent for extended periods of time due to illness or quarantine.
Take a screenshot of the slides and post them to your classroom website so students can keep up with their work while they are out of school.
4. Parents and Families
You know how important a strong home-school connection is to student success. This is especially true of students who may struggle with academic or behavior challenges.
Daily Agenda Slides are an excellent parent and family communication tool. You may be required or requested to keep some families updated on daily tasks. By simply taking a screenshot of the slides and posting them to your classroom website, families are informed about daily happenings.
5. Teachers Being Evaluated
Have you been asked to show how you utilize technology to improve instruction or benefit your students? These digital slides are a simple way to use technology to meet accommodation needs, teach executive functioning skills, and simplify your job.
Bring The Same Benefits To Small Groups
All the benefits Daily Agenda Slides bring to your mornings? Wouldn’t you like to bring that same efficiency, independence, and organization to your small groups?
My Materials Needed Slides and Literacy Station Rotation Slides are the answer. They:
Help students be self-sufficient when working through centers and stations.
Allow students to come prepared to meet with you.
Save time during centers and stations because students come prepared and know where to go next.
Reduce interruptions while teaching small groups because students aren’t coming to you to ask what they should be doing, etc.
Saving time where you can is a must for all teachers. Helping students gain independence and learn to stay on task benefits them now and in the future. And building strong connections with parents makes everything go more smoothly. I hope you’ll find my Daily Agenda Slides help you achieve all these goals.
