Challenging Situations – #EdublogsClub Prompt 6

This post is part of the #EdublogsClub – a group of educators and edtech enthusiasts that blog around a common theme each week. Simply write a post and share it to join in, or sign up to receive email reminders of each new prompt. 

Challenges come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, the biggest challenge of the day is getting out of bed with a positive attitude. Sometimes, the daily challenge is going to be having to work with a difficult student. Sometimes, the challenge lies in teaching a topic or skill or unit that you really don’t enjoy. Learning strategies to address these challenges is the way in which we overcome them.

Prompt: Write a post about challenging situations.

Here are some ideas or topics you may wish to include:

  • Share your biggest teaching challenge and explain how you overcame it
  • Write a motivational “how-to” for overcoming a common challenging situation.
  • Do a review on a book or website that has helped you overcome a challenging situation. What was the challenge? How did the book/website help you?
  • Discuss any thoughts or experiences you have about challenges in education.
  • Talk about a time when a student was facing a challenge and you provided strategies to help the student. What were they? How did they help?

Did You Miss A Post?

We understand. Sometimes it can be a challenge to get your weekly post in “on time”.

But don’t fret, you can always publish posts late, skip a topic and come back to it, or choose a post of a different topic if that week’s prompt just doesn’t interest you.

The #EdublogsClub is for you – so make of it what you wish!

Happy blogging!

    1. WoW, I am so impressed with your organization and time management! Sounds like your school year and calendar year are both going very well.

      1. 23 weeks nearly done and still intact. I love my students still, so that’s a sign it’s going well. Thanks for your kind words.

    1. It’s brave to deal with such issues in public. Good post. I’ve always felt the problem with “school choice” is that it’s the schools that get to make the choice!
