Module Objectives

Teachers, we face a unique set of challenges compared to the average professional. We have little to stand on our feet most of the day, incur large amounts of take home work, deal with mandated technology systems as well as old-fashioned paperwork, and manage constantly shifting schedules that allow for virtually no moments of concentration or focus. Add to this complex set of responsibilities the additional duties involved in providing strong instruction—deeply analyzing student data, ensuring that lesson plans include high-quality rigorous questions, and making time for one-on-one tutoring with struggling students, all of which takes extreme focus and planning. By the end of this module Teachers should be able to manage their time efficiently and develop habits that will help them become more organized professionals by creating a detailed planning tool to prepare for the week ahead.
