It's a Big Job!

Teaching is a big job.  Hence the return to school after a relaxing break is a bit daunting.

It's a big job for many reasons:

• The time on task, intense.
• The contact time, incredible.
• The time to think, plan and follow through, limited.
• The decision making, constant.
• The work and potential, limitless.

The best way to meet this hefty endeavor is to create a reasonable, effective pattern that includes time to think, research and plan, time to teach, and time for your personal health, recreation and relationships.

That pattern will differ from educator to educator and one time in life to another, but it is one factor that's essential when it comes to the big job we do.
