We know we should, and most of us do, but I love the way this fella puts it.

Every Friday, when all the students have left and I'm finally left with a quiet classroom, I think about my week.

The highs, the lows, the ups, the downs....

And I want to share a 'checklist' with you that will help you think about your week and how you could have made it even better...
End Of Week Checklist - (Questions to ask yourself)

1) Have I advanced my students this week? If yes, in what areas?

2) What mistakes did I make that I can learn from and improve upon?

3) Have I done at least 1 thing each day this week that I didn't want to do, but that would help my students or myself if I did it?

4) What have I put off that needs to be tackled next?

5) What are the most important actions I need to be focusing on next week?


Have a great weekend.
Regards,
DL

I wonder is we do this subconsciously anyway? It's a great feeling leaving a class thinking that we REALLY have achieved something.

I think when you get to know your students as people and know why they want to learn English, there is a natural drive to want to give good classes and help them succeed. My problem is I have too many resources and really need to thin them out and not try to do everything.

But if you spend them all how can you repeat? Or do you have a magic pocket of some kind that magically replenises?
