30 DIC. 2020 · Winter/Holiday Break is actually a BREAK. When classes ended for winter/holiday break, I actually STOPPED and took a break from the 2020 school experience. This break time was well-deserved for all Educators. I express what I did on my break. As the break is approaching an end and we have to re-start our classes, I posed three questions to myself to guide me in re-vamping my school experience for 2021 before touching any school related materials. I asked these questions: - What I did good/well in my teaching in 2020? - What can be improved for 2021? - What do I challenge myself to do in 2021? Educators, ask yourself these questions to guide you in rethinking teaching in 2021.
