I need to improve my time management and organization so that I can reduce stress and have more successful lesson plans. I have been struggling with time management because I was not the best at organization. I have acquired several organization skills that I think will help me in my career. I will ask colleagues what strategies have worked for them so that I can try them too and see if they work. My goal attainment will be having an organized classroom and having lesson plans ready 1 - 2 weeks in advance. - What actions can you take to remain a connected educator throughout your career?
I will make sure to have constant communication with my colleagues and to continue going to professional development workshops. - What can you do personally and professionally, to sustain the energy it takes to be passionate about students, teaching, and learning? (Ideas from Edutopia)
