As you all know, one of my favorite things is supporting teachers and finding ways to help them with their current needs and struggles. With a lot of teachers getting into the full swing of school, routine, and procedures, I've gotten a lot of questions regarding small group instruction, how it's structured, and what they need to do to keep their students engaged. To help answer these questions and so many more, I've brought in an expert, Sara Marye. In today's episode, Sara is sharing all her tips on how to streamline small group instruction.  Sara Marye has over a decade of experience working as a classroom teacher and school administrator, but is now CEO of The Stellar Teacher Company and a literacy specialist passionate about helping elementary teachers grow their students into lifelong readers. Sara's mission is to make teachers' lives a little easier by providing them with endless encouragement, effective strategies, and engaging no-fluff resources.  Being a literacy specialist, Sara has a lot of experience with small group instruction and how to be successful when setting up small group time. However, before even thinking about what activities to do with your small group, Sara wants you to think about three things: the time and frequency of your small group and how to keep the rest of your class engaged. Once those are established, then the types of activities your students do within your small group instruction will be more effective.  However, the bulk of our conversation revolves around how to keep the rest of your students engaged while you're conducting small groups. Sara points out, there's more than one way to be an effective reading teacher and how to keep your students engaged in meaningful work. Nevertheless, the idea of students being independent is essential before you even start your small group instruction.  Throughout the episode, Sara shares invaluable and effective tips that range from how to set up your small groups to keeping your students independently engaged during small group instruction. Whether you implement these strategies right away or farther along in the school year, you are certain to have successful small group instruction!  Resources Mentioned: http://stellarteacher.com/small-group-guide (Small Group Teacher Guide Freebie) https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/sp/life-coaching-for-teachers-wife-teacher-mommy-club/ (Life Coaching inside Wife Teacher Mommy) https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/sp/wife-teacher-mommy-club/ (Join the Wife Teacher Mommy Club!) https://www.amazon.com/shop/wifeteachermommy/list/V1W1DFIRUL25 (Wife Teacher Mommy: Mentioned on Podcast Amazon List ) Head to the show notes: https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/podcast/small-group-instruction (https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/podcast/small-group-instruction) https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/club (Join Wife Teacher Mommy Club. ) https://www.instagram.com/wifeteachermommy/ (Follow her on Instagram @wifeteachermommy.) https://www.facebook.com/groups/325390458094002 (Join our Facebook group: Wife Teacher Mommies Unite). https://www.pinterest.com/kelseymommy/_created/ (Follow on Pinterest for more helpful resources.)

I am so excited about today's episode because I'm sitting down with my good friend Sara Marye. We're having a collaborative conversation talking about all things teams: team dynamics, team planning, and how to get the most out of working with your teacher team.  Sara Marye is a great friend of mine, who is the voice behind The Stellar Teacher Podcast. We have a long history starting when we were on the same team, two different times, teaching both 2nd and 4th grade. Plus, we started our Teachers Pay Teachers stores at the same time, and have even collaborated on our own businesses, so we found it perfect to provide some tips and strategies on the best ways to collaborate with your teacher team!  One of the best parts about working on a team is the ability to collaborate, and not only share ideas, but share the workload. Nevertheless, working together can be challenging with all the different personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. We discuss how to use everyone's differences to your advantage, and how to navigate a funk between your team members.  In this episode we discuss: Why working with a team increases student success Benefits to identifying individual strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits Finding and building your teacher community Practical tips and suggestions to increase effectiveness and fun within your teacher team SHOW NOTES: https://theliteracydive.com/teacher-team/ Connect with Sara: Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany Stellar Teacher Podcast https://www.stellarteacher.com/ Connect with me: Check out my TpT Store Subscribe to my E-mail list Instagram Posts Blog Posts Facebook Posts Watch my YouTube channel  If you are enjoying The Literacy Dive Podcast, please follow, leave a rating, and a helpful review!
