A new teacher asked me a great question the other day.
“I have learned SO many ideas this summer. I want to implement all of them into my classroom. How do I make sure I do that?”
Me: You Don’t.
Pick like 3 ideas that YOU love that match YOUR teaching style. Then crush those!
Let me say it again…
Don’t do everything!
Do a few things really freaking well!
I’ll never forget being the “new teacher” or even “new teacher in my building” trying to do ALL the things.
It was:
Stressful.
Overwhelming.
Unrealistic.
Even over a decade into being in a classroom, I try to pick just a few things to focus on each year.
And then I try to make those few things freaking awesome!
So take a deep breath.
Throw out your multi-page list.
Pick out a couple killer ideas.
And go have some fun!
You got this!
With so much love,
