Struggles

As I sat down today during conference with my PLC, I had to admit to them that I struggle with matching our Learning Objectives to our Essential Questions.

This has been a struggle for some time now.  I'm not proud of it, but I felt a whole lot better by talking out this weakness.  It let us delve into the lesson planning with a lot more depth.  The questions definitely helped me formulate my thinking and craft the lesson writing.

We have a teacher new to our campus in my PLC, and he has told me about his struggles.  Sometimes, I have just assumed the teachers I work with are doing just fine, or simply know which side is up.  

So, our conversations this week have shown we both have our struggles, and I think we will work these things out together.

That, in a nutshell, is teamwork.  And that is how to handle your struggles.  Attack them early in the year while you can.  

As a result, I know this year is shaping up to be a good one.

Peace
