In this episode:
Listen in as I give you tangible steps that you can use to conduct your mid-year check in. I even get vulnerable and do mine here on the podcast so that you can see how easy and beneficial it is to do one.
I talk about:
I talk about the what, the why and the how of conducting a mid-year check in.
1.The What- a mid-year check in is a meeting that you do with yourself half way through the year and reflect or think about the practices surrounding your literacy block.
- The Why- No one in your life knows the highs and lows that you have experienced so far this school year, better than you.
- The How- designate a place and time to do this. Then you needed to grab a sheet of paper and ask yourself a series of questions.
Quotables:
- Now is a perfect time for a check in as the celebrations and pitfalls of the school year are still fresh on your mind.
- Although, we like and value the feedback of an admin, coach or colleague. The honest feedback we get from ourselves can and should be just as valued.
- Thinking of what is going well in your classroom will open your eyes and will help you to see just how many wins there are once you have a chance to actually think about it.
