My Go-To Summer Reflection Checklist for a Successful School Year
I’ve been teaching for over a decade and I’ve created a FREE clarity checklist of questions that I consider every summer break before heading back to school in the fall. Whether you’re a new teacher, first-year teacher, or a veteran teacher, this checklist will help you identify key areas of focus for the new school year!
Asking myself these questions helps me to gauge my mindset and needs and gives me a starting place to plan for a successful next school year! I hope they help you in the same way!
I’ve grouped these questions into four categories:
What: These questions help you to think about details and name specific needs so you can prepare.
How: This group will make you slow down and problem-solve to start developing a plan and break it into actionable steps.
When: The best plans are time-bound! These questions help you to think through your schedule and set aside time to get your needs met.
Who: Identify specific people who can support you throughout the year so you know where to go for help before you are in a situation where you need it!
These are just a few foundational questions to help get you started. Want more? Check out my Simplified Schooldays Mini-Course.
