I have been blogging in one form or another for at least 4 years now. Here's where I'll write about my experiences as a 6th grade Humanities teacher at a small charter school in my hometown. My first year teaching at 'Chance' charter school was bittersweet. This year, I want to foster more of those sweet moments. My action plan for school year 2007-2008 includes:
1) Creating a consistent classroom management plan implemented on Day One. What is the 'buy in' for students to behave well?
2) Viewing each lesson from the vantage point of the students--Am I reaching all of my learners? How will the students show what they've learned? Is the lesson engaging from start to finish?
3) Balancing work/life responsibilities.
I want to be the best teacher possible. My students deserve no less. Let the show begin!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really look forward to reading about your year! Sounds great from the start.
Peace.
Thanks for the comment BK. I wish that I had your grit and determination from the get-go. It took from Sept-Dec to finally say, "I ain't goin' nowhere!"
Take care!
