Hastings College Teacher Education

Some thoughts and resources from Professor Grant Bachman:

I came across this article as I was looking up information on behavior management systems. The statistics shared here were very eye-opening. The Pandemic placed a heavy burden on all of us. As teachers continue to dig out from the hole this is something that I think is a very interesting unspoken issue facing kids today. Eye contact is so crucial in the interactions we have with students. The need to see all the nonverbals, including eye contact helps to convey each message. If children are struggling with this in the general context, how will it look as they try to meet new people and make new friends? Have any of you experienced or noticed this in your classrooms?
