As a mobile teacher with no classroom of my own, my resolution is to find ways to keep myself and my students organized, to figure out how to use a word wall without walls and a room escape without a room.

My New Years Goal is to push my kids to excell beyond others expectations. I teach special education and many people do not expect my kids to be able to do the things that do. I have high expectations for my students and they always surprise me by going above and beyond what I expect.

My resolution is to remember to have fun! It’s so easy to get caught up in the stress of the job and the amount of paperwork that you forget this is something you are passionate about! When you have fun the students have fun too! Leave a Reply. |
