Every January, normal people make resolutions for the upcoming year. Teachers are not normal people. Our new year starts in August. Before you look ahead to the new school year, first look back at last year.
Did you make resolutions for last year that you didn’t keep? Did you have great plans to stay organized, manage student behavior, and keep your class on track? Figure out why things didn’t work out. What stopped you from doing what you’d resolved to do? Did you have a plan to achieve your goals?
Once you figure out what stopped you last year, you should be in a better position to make resolutions you can actually keep this year.
What are your new school year resolutions? And more importantly, what are your plans to keep them?
