We don\u2019t do narratives anymore, which is an absolute blessing, but I do think I need to do this at least once a year for each kid in the class.\u00a0 (Actually to do each kid once you\u2019d have to do three per week.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bi-weekly Friday summaries.  Stagger so that English is one week and history is the next. My first year at SLA I did this religiously and I need to bring this back.\u00a0 The only additional wrinkle I want to add is a statement to parents that that Canvas is up to date (let\u2019s eliminate the \u201cI submitted things and he hasn\u2019t graded them\u201d smokescreen.) I should be able to get the SATs to help with this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn how to set Canvas up so that the gruntwork doesn\u2019t take as long and where I get more of the details correct.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure that there\u2019s no good way to simplify the last four clicks \u2014 different due dates and closing dates a week later.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SATs + Notetaker + Facilitator = ensuring that each discussion is documented on Canvas. I would love to have enough of these discussions present on the discussion board so that they could be grounds for end of the year analysis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work towards completing the benchmark assignments alongside the kids. These assignments are worth doing; they change enough such that you could actually do them each year and have a fair amount of variation.\u00a0 It will keep you intellectually sharp as well.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build coursepacks this summer. Print at 440.\u00a0 Make sure they are reading .pdfs as little as possible. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generating the general feedback sheet within forty eight hours of the benchmark submission. \u00a0 Have SATs edit and then publish for me.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making sure I don\u2019t forget to update the portfolios at the end of second and third quarter.\u00a0 These were cool documents. More than a few kids did it at the end of the year \u2014 a heroic effort to be sure \u2014 but carve out time for this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekly: one day for me \u2014 direct instruction\/lecture, one day for one-on-one meetings, and two days of cutting edge pedagogy.\u00a0 These one-on-ones should result in eight to ten conversations per kid, per year. \u00a0 Not enough, but better.\u00a0 (One thing I\u2019d like to watch is to see which day works best. This year I\u2019m going to do the last meeting of the week but I wonder if the first day might be better?)\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not run out of gas midway through the third quarter.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each quarter, in each class, bring in guests. I need to do much more of this \u2014 much more of this \u2014 but let\u2019s start this year with the aim to do it each quarter.\u00a0 Add this into the spreadsheet with all of the units in it. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goals for next year, in no real order.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teaching-2024-2025"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8rNFZ-20e","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7703,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7702\/revisions\/7703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrclapper.com\/blog2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
