Do you ever have those days when go you off on philosophical tangents? You know, those cold, gloomy mornings when you stare out the window, coffee mug in hand, wondering, “Does a fish know what water is?”, “Is the colour red really universal?” or “Is Robert from marketing a real person?”

10 Morning Meeting Activities (For A Contact Free Classroom) Are you prepping for the new school year and wondering how you are going to make morning meeting work in your classroom? I have brainstormed 10 different morning meeting activities that allow your students to have fun, while being contact free. - Cheryl Gleason, Assistant Executive Director of the Kansas State High School Activities Association, has announced her decision to retire from the KSHSAA staff effective July 1, 2021. She has served in this position since joining the staff on November 1, 1989.

We’ve all been there. The truth is it’s hard for virtual project groups to bond on a personal level with other group members…partly (well, mostly) because we may not even know what the other person looks like! Without bonding, the results could be dangerous. The University of California, San Francisco, lists some of the common symptoms of a disengaged team:

• Decreased productivity
• Conflicts or hostility among staff members
• Confusion about assignments, missed signals and unclear relationships
• Decisions misunderstood or not carried through properly
• Apathy and lack of involvement

And there’s more:

• Lack of initiation, imagination, innovation; routine actions taken for solving complex problems
• Complaints of discrimination or favouritism
• Ineffective staff meetings, low participation, minimally effective decisions
• Negative reactions to the manager
• Complaints about quality of service

And there’s still more! A 2009 article from the Occupational and Environmental Medicine showed that a lack of team spirit can even cause employee depression…But don’t panic!
