I want to have a better work life balance.

I think it’s a great idea to have certain work hours set. It’s also great to plan ahead on Friday. I used to plan 2 weeks’ lesson plans at a time. That way I could tweak the second week as I got feedback and grades, and I could start figuring out the week after that. This year I’m part of a K-12 resource team. We are really frontloading our planning. We’ve already got units planned for our middle schoolers that will last through at least November. We’re supposed to be working on elementary grades today.

I want to create and maintain healthy boundaries this year. Last year I took on too much because I felt obligated to and ended up being overwhelmed and stressed.

This year I will give up things that I am not passionate about as well as things that interfere with my time to rejuvinate and refresh. The world does not stop because you say no to something.

I want write lesson plans regularly. I fly by the seat of my pants and it often results in me being unhappy with myself and my students' progress.

Outside of my goals for students and teaching, I just want to be more positive. I want to focus more on the good things happening in my classes rather than the few bad things that happen. 😊

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules.

What are some electives you have at your school that are new, innovative and interesting for todays high school students?
