What Will You Do Differently Next Year? By Larry Ferlazzo
He asked educators to answer this question. He had over fifty educators respond, so he divided the blog articles into two parts. He asked them to share only a couple of ideas and asked them to limit their reasoning to two or three sentences. I am going to share a few of the ones he received:
· A middle school teacher responded that he would like to write more consistently on his class blog; update it more often. And he would love to find a way to make science more interesting and practical.
· Another blogger wrote that she would like to encourage her students to take charge of their learning by setting some of their own goals and deciding for themselves how they want to learn the information. And she will be offering “unplugged conversation courses” for adults next year.
· One teacher decided that she wants to come up with more creative writing assignments that will challenge her students and hopefully, cause them to write more and better. She also wants to spend more time on grammar and the mechanics of writing.
· Another said that she will actively seek to collaborate with positive people this year. She has vowed not to let negative people and thoughts get her down. I think that is a great one to end on.
