You're optimistic. Your classroom or school is ready. Everything's perfect. Just don't forget one important thing that ineffective educators often overlook. The most important word to people. Their name. That's right. Too many educators never bother, or simply forget, to learn the names of their students. Greet your students by name. Every time you see them. When they know that you care about them, they'll work a lot harder for you. It's a very simple tip, but an important one. Have a great school year!

As you strive for continuous improvement, it's also time to examine the areas in need of refinement. Summer is a great time to review achievement data, analyze student performance, and identify and address your staff development needs. It's also the least disruptive time to implement necessary changes. Use the summer to "<b>plan your work</b>." Use the school year to "<b>work your plan</b>." By using your time in the summer to analyze and plan, you'll set the stage for even more success in the coming school year. Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:09:12 GMT
