You have a wealth of experience from the past months; successes, challenges, moments of profound connection, and instances where things just didn't quite land as you'd hoped. Now is the perfect time to mindfully sift through these experiences and glean valuable insights that will inform your future practice.

As the energy of the school year reaches its peak, and sometimes feels a little like a rollercoaster heading towards the final drop, the need for a strong anchor becomes more critical than ever. In the midst of field trips, culminating projects, and the general buzz of anticipating summer, a consistent structure can be your greatest ally, providing both you and your students with a sense of stability and purpose.

Before you solidify your plans for the final stretch, take a moment to pause, lean in, and directly ask your students about their learning experiences. Their feedback isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s instructional gold, offering profound insights into what truly resonated with them and where you can continue to make a meaningful impact.
