Still in vacation mode but, here's a couple of thoughts floating in my head:
1. I had an okay school year as far as being comfortable with lesson planning & implementation/presentation. I definitely want to increase the amount of project-based learning & real life connections for my next group of students in the fall.
2. Change is coming down the pipeline. We have a new principal, and I know that a couple of my co-workers will no be at the school in the fall. In the past, I've had a tendency to 'jump ship' when things got hectic (and trust, things were mad hectic at the end of the school year), but I'm not feeling that this year. Not to say that things are all good, but I'm more willing to wait it out than before.
3. I'll be taking a couple of classes starting in the fall to move up to the next level of licensure. Eh, it's free so I'm not going to complain too much. I just have to really make sure I'm managing my time well to be on top of my game, teaching and non-teaching wise.
I'll be back in August with some planning strategies, etc. for the new school year.
