Subject: Even MORE OUTPUT from the ETAI Conference!

In addition to the flurry of activity going on online, I would like to
add ETAI's very first OUPUT list:
The Seven Do s and Don't s on:
How to Sane and Motivated Over the Years

Before you read this, it was really interesting to note how
recommendations that appeared on the list were reflected in the
conference itself.
For example:
Our very own "watermelon artist" , Avraham, obviously is enjoying his
hobby! And Adele shared with us how good it makes her feel to be a
medical clown! Recommendation number two got strong support!
A very different example occured in one of the sessions - humor is a
wonderful thing but one has to employ it carefully. One of the
presenters had a brief moment of misunderstanding when someone who
attended misunderstood her humor. Never fear, it was immediatly
cleared up and all is well!
In addition, it seems the principal of the host school was reflecting
on the "don't" of point number three...
And don't forget the many tech talks, some of them presenting tools to
help teachers implement recommendation number five!
Finally, all of us at ETAI were following recommendation number SEVEN!

So, here is the list (it will be posted everywhere possible!):


Number one:
Do - Reflect on lessons that went well - build on THOSE.
Don't - Don't obsess over lessons that didn't work out - Let it go.
Number two:
Do - Have a hobby / relaxing activity to engage in.
Don't - Don't say yes to everything the school wants you to do.
Number three:
Do - Have a sense of humor (Warning! Beware of sarcasm).
Don't - Don't take everything seriously.
Number four:
Do - Have a shoulder to cry on / someone who will let you vent.
Don't - Don't let your issues at school spill into your private life.
Number five:
Do: Collaborate and divide the work with other teachers.
Don't: Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Number six:
Do: Count to ten.
Don't: Don't forget to take care of yourself.
Number seven:
Do: Engage in ongoing Professional Development.
Don't: Don't try to constantly reinvent the wheel.
