(Be honest.) Trina Deboree shares a practical, teacher-tested system that turns sub planning from overwhelming to effortless. She walks through how to set up a simple sub binder and sub tub so you can finally take a sick day without the guilt spiral or the 5 a.m. panic planning. If you've ever taught through a fever because the alternative felt worse... this session gives you permission (and a system) to actually rest when you need it.Links/Resources:Free Sub Survival Guide: https://www.trinadeboreeteachingandlearning.com/subguideTrina Deboree Teaching and Learning: https://www.trinadeboreeteachingandlearning.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Mikey Sivert (a 19-year veteran upper elementary teacher) shares three practical strategies that don't require extra lesson planning because they work inside moments already happening in your classroom. From the 5-Second Emotion Check-In to the "And Then What?" reflection technique, these approaches help students connect emotions to choices without adding a single thing to your plate. The best part? January's challenges (exhausted kids, darker mornings, behavioral struggles) are exactly why these skills matter most right now. If you've been putting off emotional intelligence work until "next year when things are calmer"... this session proves mid-year is actually the perfect time to start.Links/Resources:Free Emotional Intelligence & Self-Regulation Lesson: https://mikeydteach.com/eiMikey D Teach: https://www.mikeydteach.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Martina Cahill shares a simple bell ringer system that creates structure without adding to your workload. The best part? It takes just one week to stick. She walks through everything from choosing your format (printable or digital) to modeling the routine, keeping grading light, and why repetition is the real magic here. If your mornings have felt more like herding cats than teaching... this plug-and-play routine might be the sanity-saver you've been looking for.Links/Resources:Free Bell Ringer Resource: https://the-hungry-teacher.kit.com/13e75b23aaThe Hungry Teacher: https://thehungryteacherblog.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

LaNesha Tabb explains why students struggle with partner talk, and spoiler alert: they're not being difficult. They just haven't been taught the skills for purposeful academic conversation. This session walks through how explicit instruction, predictable structures, and low-stakes daily practice can transform casual chatter into accountable talk that actually deepens thinking and strengthens writing. The secret? Start simple with one talk stem, build habits through quick morning routines, and embed intentional talk moves into what you're already doing. If your partner conversations have felt more like a waste of time than a comprehension tool... this session shows you exactly what's missing.Links/Resources:LaNesha Tabb: www.laneshatabb.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Allie Szczecinski wants you to know you're not adding anything... you're just shifting how you deliver what you're already doing. Her approach focuses on tiny moments (think 10 seconds, not 20 minutes) woven into transitions, routines, academic talk time, and even corrections. Using the research-backed RULER framework from Yale, Ali walks you through five practical touch points that build emotional vocabulary and regulation skills without touching your master schedule. If "one more thing" makes you want to scream, this session proves SEL doesn't have to be that thing.Links/Resources:Miss Behavior Blog: www.missbehaviorblog.comThe Behavior Supports Library: http://missbehavior.mykajabi.com/Their Best Behavior (Book): https://a.co/d/eUTW8dIShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Leigh Langton shares how one simple tool (the Student Writing Folder) transformed her classroom into a community of real writers churning out stories, poems, and even chapter books. In this session, she walks through how a mid-year reset can help students stay organized, write more independently, and actually get excited about writing again. You'll hear real classroom stories, practical tips you can use tomorrow, and a step-by-step breakdown for launching writing folders in your own room. If your writing time has devolved into a mess of lost papers and "I don't know what to write"... this system might be exactly the fresh start you need.Links/Resources:Free Persuasive Writing Activity: https://theappliciousteacher.com/persuasive-writing-landing-page-2/The Applicious Teacher: https://theappliciousteacher.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Juan Edgar Gonzalez Jr. shares practical strategies for using paired texts to help students compare, contrast, and synthesize their thinking. Using engaging picture books like Jon Klassen's Hat series, he walks through how to guide students to notice connections across stories and combine ideas to form new understanding. The approach is beginner-friendly but the thinking is deep.

Jennifer Findley is here to expand your definition (and your results). She breaks down two types of spiral review that serve completely different purposes: mastery review helps instruction stick, while just-in-time review helps it land in the first place. She walks through where review can live beyond your schedule (centers, homework, those chaotic holiday weeks), and how to build a system that ramps up naturally as the year progresses. Her biggest tip? Stay away from pre-packaged spiral review that follows your pacing guide instead of where your students actually are. If you've been scrambling to fit in review or watching skills disappear weeks after you taught them... this framework changes everything.Links/Resources:Jennifer Findley: https://jenniferfindley.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

You're definitely not alone. Mona Iehl shows K-5 teachers how to reset mid-year and build a calm, confident community of problem solvers (yes, even now). Through simple shifts and relatable classroom stories, she shares how to rebuild safety, help students actually make sense of problems before jumping to solve, and use a predictable routine that supports deeper thinking. The best part? It's not too late to transform how word problems feel for you and your students. If math time has become synonymous with stress and "I don't get it"... this session offers a gentler path forward.Links/Resources:35 Questions to Ask in Math Class (Free): https://MonaMath.com/35questionsMath Chat Podcast: https://MonaMath.com/mathchatShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Kirsten Hammond breaks down how to bring real-world events into your classroom with low-prep activities that actually work at the elementary level. You'll learn how to find kid-friendly sources, lead student discussions on facts and perspectives, and connect current events to what you're already teaching. The process is refreshingly simple: pick an event, find a source, ask questions, discuss. If your social studies block has felt a little disconnected from the world outside your classroom walls... this is an easy way to change that.Links/Resources:Free Resources + Newsletter Signup: https://thesouthernteach.myflodesk.com/twtalksjan26The Southern Teach: https://www.thesouthernteach.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Cassie Tabrizi helps teachers rethink how math instruction is designed (and why so many programs prioritize coverage over actual learning). She introduces four practical design steps: success criteria, clear wins, visible progress, and informal celebrations. These bring clarity, motivation, and intention back to your math block. You'll walk away with ready-to-use strategies, K-5 I Can Statements, and goal-setting tools you can implement immediately. If your math instruction has felt like a hamster wheel of teaching concepts that students forget by next week... this session shows you what's actually missing.Links/Resources: I Can Statements and Goal Setting Pages (K-5): https://download.create-abilities.com/resources/optin-k-5-i-can-statements/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Kelsey Sorenson offers a warm, grounded reset that actually makes sense for exhausted teachers. She explores why winter burnout is so real (biologically, emotionally, and practically) and why your response doesn't have to be more hustle. You'll walk away with a powerful mindset reframe and five simple tweaks you can start using today to soften the stress without overhauling your entire life. Think of it as a coaching-style permission slip to stop fighting the season and start working with it. If you've been white-knuckling your way through January waiting for things to feel easier... this session might be exactly the exhale you need.Links/Resources:Free Masterclass (From Burnout to Balance): https://educateandrejuvenate.com/sp/live-masterclass/Educate and Rejuvenate: www.educateandrejuvenate.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Jennifer Findley shares a flexible behavior plan covering what to do the week before testing and during the week itself, including why your morning work is actually your undercover behavior plan and how to handle the tricky after-test time.

Dr. Shane Saaed shares practical strategies for making metacognition a routine part of your classroom (not just a buzzword on your lesson plans). From the "Stop & Think" routine to the 4 Steps of Metacognition to quick visual checks like "Fist to Five," he walks through how to help students accurately gauge their own understanding. The big shift here is moving the focus from the final product to the process of learning. If you're tired of students saying "I get it" when they clearly don't... this session helps you build the self-reflection habits that create genuinely independent learners.Links/Resources:Be the Flame: Sparking Classroom Communities (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Be-Flame-Sparking-Classroom-Communities/dp/1736199641Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Ashley Sharp has a simple system to get your rotations running smoothly again without starting from scratch. Her three Rs framework (Reintroduce, Reestablish, Rebuild) walks you through exactly how to bring back manipulatives intentionally, reset expectations confidently, and rebuild that student stamina so centers actually run independently again. If your post-break rotations have felt more like controlled chaos than the well-oiled machine you had going in October... this session is your reset button.Links/Resources:Free Kindergarten Centers Simplified Workshop: https://onesharpbunch.com/centers-workshopOne Sharp Bunch: https://onesharpbunch.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Andriana Zarovska shares how to set calm, consistent, heart-centered boundaries and implement consequences that actually support learning (instead of just managing chaos). This isn't about being stricter or adding more rules. It's about helping students feel safe, guided, and understood while keeping your sanity intact. You'll walk away with strategies you can use immediately, whether it's neutral language, repair-focused consequences, or simply having a real conversation with students about expectations.

Sarah Paul and Michelle Sullivan reframe morphology as the system that connects decoding, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar... not "one more thing" to squeeze into your day. They share five no-prep routines (morpheme chains, word sums, matrices, word webs, and "spot the base") you can weave into what you're already doing this week. The goal isn't overhauling your instruction. It's helping students finally understand how English actually works, one meaningful morpheme at a time. If your word study block has felt disconnected or your students are still memorizing words in isolation... this mid-year reset might change everything.Links/Resources:FREE Word Posters: https://sarah-s-snippets.kit.com/2e3d64e8f4Connect with Michelle: https://www.michelleandthecolorfulclassroom.com/Connect with Sarah: https://sarahsnippets.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.🎤 Teacher Winter Talks is hosted by Heidi and Emily from Second Story Window.

Naomi Meredith breaks it down into three manageable steps (and here's the surprise: buying the printer isn't first). She walks through her favorite free design tools for elementary students, from Tinkercad for second grade and up to Doodle 3D Transform for the littlest learners. Then she covers printer recommendations and shares her go-to first project: name tag keychains that kids proudly hang on their backpacks.
