If you are now exploring the new world of distance learning, chances are you, your students and their parents are all in a bit of a panic right now as everything is so new!
At least you can have communication with your students via tools such as Google Classroom, but how are parents and guardians coping with this new home schooling life? You can control the environment in your own classroom, but you cannot control their study space or environment at home, so this is where you need some parental feedback.
Now the tables have turned, so it is important to reach out to parents and find out how they’re getting on and what they’re seeing at their end. You can’t see your students right now so it’s harder for you to gauge how they’re doing. Getting parental feedback is paramount to everyone’s success.
These Google forms will gain you valuable insight into a range of areas.
The forms included are:
• Initial Parental Information: gain an overview of what environment their child has for studying at home: in particular what kind of devices, internet access, and study space they have access to.
• Schedule Parental Information: gain an overall insight into how much support the parents are realistically able to offer at home, judgment free, and how much digital time they would prefer / are able to offer their child every day.
• Interim Parental Feedback: Find out how parents are coping with home schooling and how they feel their children are really doing. Get valuable feedback on specific lessons / activities / topics that are going well, and which are more challenging. With this form you will learn what is working best and gain an insight into what might help their distance learning experiences in the future.

Make it your mission this year to take your life back with this well-being journal. Use for yourself or issue to your students to help them keep a journal of their life so they can reflect as well as set targets and track their progress to build positive habits.
We’re all so busy and we give so much to other people that self-care often goes on the back burner. It’s crucial we take care of our well-being as it affects the way we feel and think, the way we cope with life’s challenges and how we can make the most of our potential.​
If we neglect to make an effort to take care of our well-being we can find ourselves stressed, jaded, unfulfilled or feeling trapped.
After getting overwhelmed with life as a teacher, I started to set and track my progress in habits I wanted to create, as well as journaling. It has been essential in helping me form good habits and take care of my emotional state too. By recording my journey, I have been able to spot patterns in my mood over the course of a year and I’m now able to plan ahead, manage my life effectively and look after my well-being. With this journal, you and your students can have that same control and emotional freedom!
Journal includes:
70 pages
Every page is hand rendered in zentangle style for mindful colouring
Monthly journal pages for brief journaling
Weekly journal pages for brief journaling
Daily journal pages, both with prompts and plain for more detailed journaling
Prompts encourage you to focus on achievement, self-care and future thoughts
Daily tracker with 4 point system to monitor and review well-being each day
Monthly gratitude jar keepsake to record daily joys
12 different zentangle themes for each month to add variety
4 different types of trackers: mood, sleep, exercise and one for your own habits​
Benefits:
It’s so easy to get caught up in day to day life that your well-being falls by the wayside but having somewhere to record your thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions puts these in the forefront of your mind ensuring you focus on them.
Journaling has been proven to reduce physical disease symptoms and anxiety, enhance self-esteem and increase self-awareness.
It can improve your self love and help you become really in tune with your own thoughts and emotions.
Writing engages both the left and right side of the brain, enhancing problem solving capabilities.
When you journal, you can go back and identify patterns to help you in the future as well as identify areas of personal growth to help you celebrate your successes.
Overall, promotes well-being by allowing you to monitor your mental, physical and emotional wellness.
