Hey, all. It's day 1 of the blogging challenge. Here's the question and answer:
Write your goals for the school year. Be as specific or abstract as you’d like to be!
I have a bunch of goals for the school year. Some are hard, while others should be easier.
I'd like to talk in a normal tone of voice. Usually, I'm hoarse by the end of the day and have a sore throat for much of the school year. I'm going to have to improve my classroom management and ability to explain directions clearly. I explained my "hand up" for silence procedure on day 1. I need to make sure everyone is silent before I start talking.
I am leaving school at the end of the day on Fridays--no exceptions! Even if I come back on Saturday and catch up, I need to get out of there and have a fun afternoon!
I'm taking time in September to lay out my Ed Eval stuff--no more stressing in April and May and wishing I'd done better documentation of my work!
I'm also trying to plan more on the weekend and grade more during the week. I've always done the reverse--scrambling for plans and activities all week and then grading all weekend (which wastes time as a formative assessment AND the kids get their work back so much later that they've forgotten what it is).
I take it back--all of these goals will be hard, but I'll work on them. GROWTH MINDSET!
