New Year’s Resolutions….?

January 5th, 2010

<Snicker>

Following the advice of this New Year’s Resolution Song, I have set these achievable and attainable resolutions for my teaching in the new year:

Play music in class.

Perform a couple of concerts every year.

Plan my lessons in advance…..at least once a month.

Insert a Band grade and comment into the report card of each and every Band student.

Miss the housing deadline for the state music teachers’ conference, then complete it online a week later in a tizzy at 1:00 a.m. only to see that my favorite hotels are full. A day or two after the charge hits my credit card, have a buddy volunteer to share his room in my favorite hotel.

Delete, without reading, any e-mail from the school secretary, of which the title begins with “IMPORTANT!!!!” or “Today’s Attendance” or “Weather”.

Delete, without reading, any e-mail from the Community Service Coordinator, AP Coordinator, Grade 6 Homeroom Coordinator, or Faculty Sunshine Committee Coordinator.

Listen to Miles while planning and grading.

Write a daily post on Third Stream….at least once a month.
