Education Resolution

New Year’s is the time for resolutions
Like the strength to overcome addictions
The promise to find a slimmer you
Or permission to try something new
As educators, we aim to change and grow
For wisdom, guidance and empathy, we bestow
Into the minds and hearts of the students we nourish
In hopes that future patients will one day flourish
This great responsibility comes with rewards unseen
And riches, which cannot be spent, eaten or seen
However, we cannot forget the stress there is too
So, this new year do not forget to take care of you

Spend more time with others
Collaborate with colleagues on ways to blend learning
The smartest person in the room is the room. Therefore, take some time to meet with your colleagues and walk through new ideas. Discuss ways to incorporate different styles of learning, lecture and presentation formats, and ways to integrate curriculum. You are not alone in the educational journey you embark upon daily, so take some time to share ideas and find solutions as a team.

Application card. After students have heard or read about an important principle, generalization, theory or procedure, ask them to write down one or more possible, real-world applications for what they just learned. Students can share their examples with justification for why they are appropriate applications. The class can identify the most creative examples. |
