I recently got to sit in on some interviews at our school. One question that I made sure to ask was, "What do you plan to do to get better at your craft?" Too many teachers are complacent with their methods and lessons. I want a teacher that wants to change, grow, and get better!
I am far from perfect; I have months and even years when I feel like survival is my goal. For the most part, the last half of this past school year had me in survival mode. I pledge here that I will do better this year! The start has been reading a new PD book called Kids Deserve It and participating in the summer challenges that are on their blog.
My question to you is the same. How do YOU plan to get better?
