Discover the joy that comes with lots of short breaks, both for you and your students. There are plenty of great benefits.
Research indicates that multiple 5 min breaks are better than a larger single break. so…
- Give students regular short breaks… every 45-90 min provide 5 min (used to do brain breaks at SEDA)
- Give yourself regular short breaks… time them and don’t allow them to interrupt your flow.
- If you are scheduling meetings make them 25 or 50 min instead of 30 and 1 hr so incorporate some form of a break between activities.
