And…we’re back.

My “Not Waiting For a New Year” resolutions:
Get passionate about educational reform again.
Refuse to be a pawn in a system that doesn’t understand real learning.
Stop relying on test prep and start preparing really engaging lessons.
Seriously. Put some effort in.
Get off the internet and grade some papers.
Use those assessments to drive the following day’s instruction.
Go to bed earlier.
Don’t get up in the morning without asking–and receiving in prayer–the fruit of the Spirit.
Walk in love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faith, self control.
Show less frustration when kids act inane and immature.
FEEL less frustration when kids act inane and immature.
Ask more higher level questions.
Listen more.
Talk less.
Smile.
Love the kids like they’re my own.
