Transform your first week of school with "Read Your Teacher: Back to School Edition," a dynamic and engaging SEL resource designed to break the ice and spark curiosity! 
 
Ditch the traditional, yawn-inducing syllabus presentation and those predictable "get to know me" slides. Instead, kick off the school year with an activity that invites your students to "read" you!
 
To READ someone means making accurate assumptions about what a person is like based on verbal and non-verbal cues – what they say, do, wear, and own. 
 
By sharpening these observation skills, students will develop their critical thinking and analytical abilities, all while getting to know you in a fun, interactive way.
 
Why Choose "Read Your Teacher"?
Engage Your Students: Captivate your class from day one by allowing them to analyze and make observations about you, their teacher. This approach promotes active participation and curiosity.
Develop Critical Thinking Skills: Encourage students to use critical thinking as they observe and interpret your verbal and non-verbal cues.
Foster a Positive Classroom Environment: Create a lively and inclusive atmosphere where students feel comfortable and excited to learn more about each other and their teacher.
Perfect Icebreaker Activity: This activity is not only fun but also serves as a great way to introduce the syllabus in a more engaging and memorable manner.
Teacher Roast Energy: Add a dash of humor and light-hearted fun as students attempt to "read" you, leading to amusing and insightful discussions.
Smooth Transition to Syllabus Content: After the activity, seamlessly transition into more serious syllabus discussions, making them more relatable and interesting for students.
 
Bonus Agenda Slide: A matching theme agenda slide is included for you to present at the start of class and kick-off the lesson with agenda items, materials needed, and reminders.
 
This engaging, comprehensive, and self-led activity offers 13 interactive digital slides (slides can be removed based on comfort level):
