Often how you start the year is also how you conclude the year! As a teacher, you make grand back-to-school plans for your students. You plan activities and set goals for them, but how often do you take the time to pause, reflect and set intentional goals for yourself?

To give you the strongest start to the school year, here is a simple three step guide to help you reflect and reset with intention. Created by experienced curriculum leader and coach, Mike Matthews, this one-hour guided reflection will help you reflect on the past year, think deeply about your learnings from it, and create actionable next steps for the months to come. After all, purposeful teachers lead to engaged students!

You’ll find:

  • A simple one-hour guided self-reflection toolkit 
  • Differentiated menu of activities and prompts to choose from
