I have seen some new teachers struggling a little with our EDI framework, which is expected at this time.

Focus one:
Stand at the door and greet students, be deliberately upbeat, and then do a countdown before a quick equipment check. Here's an example:
Focus two:
Get SLANT right and do not lower your expectations for students to provide you their undivided attention when you, the adult, speak.
Here's an example:
Getting these two areas right will assist you with many other activities within the EDI framework
These strategies do not require much preparation from us, just our willingness to engage. In return, you will certainly see unprecedented engagement from our students.
