New Year's Resolution Linky!
Thank you to Jen over at The Teacher’s Cauldron and Amanda from Teaching Maddeness for these fun linky parties!
Personal: Allow myself balance. I love what I do so it is easy to get caught up in hours of “teachery” stuff. I want to walk my dog daily so that gives me a good hour of reflective/me time. Catching up on DVR may not sound like the highest of goals, but that allows my body and brain to rest. (Rest? What’s that?!)
School: Continue to help my mentee and former student teacher become the best teachers they can be all the while challenging myself to try new things. No Risk. No Reward. Professionally I have been on the upswing and I want to continue my growth as a leader in the district.
Blogging: ah! I have dropped the ball a bit lately with blogging- not because I don’t care, but I am so busy!! Blogging is a great way for me to share what I am doing in the classroom, network with other great teachers, and create a running document of my accomplishments/thoughts/fears. Instead of one new post per week, I am going to try for 3… let’s go 3! 🙂
What are your resolutions for 2013? Dream Big and Rise to the Occasion!
