She has a number of staff development courses that she plans on attending. After taking a little time to recharge, she begins reviewing her lesson plans from last year. She wants to try a few new things. As she starts planning for the first semester, she tweaks a few things that didn’t work as well as she hoped last year and also puts in a few new strategies. She reviews the instructional planning calendar and times out how long each lesson/unit will take. By the time school starts she is feeling quite accomplished with the entire first semester planned out and a solid start on the second semester. She is ready for a new year.

She reflects on her practice from last year and identifies areas where she can grow. She decides to find some professional development offerings to help her grow in her pedagogy. As the summer comes to an end and the new year is fast approaching, she gets out her instructional planning calendar. She also starts looking at ways to assess where her students’ skill level will be in the first few weeks of school. While she knows the topic and TEKS she will cover, she is planning the first few days around building the classroom culture and her lessons will focus on getting to know where her students are with the content they will be covering. She has a few ideas of where students typically enter her class but her focus is getting to know her students so that she can plan on making the instruction focus on what the students need. With her first days/week planned with classroom culture and assessment through multiple methods, she is ready for the new year.
