Where possible, stick to routine

The students have been through a huge upheaval, so they could well be in a heightened state of anxiety where their bodies and brains are primed to receive perceived threats more readily. In the first few weeks, this could lead to them having a shorter fuse. The students might not want to join in, they might display behaviours that are undesirable and controlling. They haven’t been around large groups of people for a long time, so social anxieties might be an issue.

Don’t be afraid to add in some mindfulness activities

The class in front of you will have had such a varied educational experience during lockdown. Some of them will have been made to stick to strict school hours, others will have done the bare minimum. Some of them will have had parents and carers helping them, others amongst them will have been helping their parents and carers with other things. Progress at this point simply can’t be the number one priority! Whatever you teach, don’t be afraid to add in some mindfulness activities.

A smile goes a long way. Easier said than done when you’re wearing a mask, of course. If your school policy permits, try wearing a visor so the students can see your face. This will forge stronger bonds and help to repair any ruptured relationships that or negative mindsets that some students will have encountered over this past year.
