Down Time Education

With a shortage of teachers, teacher aides, and funds operating a classroom can be challenging. Have you ever wondered how great teachers manage their students and become role models for their children? Barb DiMarco, founder of Downtime Educational Services has created a tool to help teachers connect better with their students by keeping them more engaged during down times. She helps teachers develope a student's wonder and sense of responsibility through building their 21st century thinking skills.


DOWN TIME High School is a high school activity book offering exercises that will transform your classroom into a meaningful workshop on the spot! There are thirty 20-40 minute intriguing exercises developed by Barb DiMarco, a secondary school counselor who worked with at risk youth for 14 years. The exercises are designed to make students reflect and discuss topics such as:

• How to make good decisions

• How to communicate more effectively

• What risks are good risks?

• How do I set realistic goals?

• Leadership skills

• Teamwork

• Cultural differences

• Planning events

No preparation is needed and materials are listed at the start of each exercise.

Let your classroom become collaborative and meaningful when you have some “down time” –whether just off the computer, or before the busses come.. Make your class fun for you and for your students!
