First, identify the prize. At the end of the year, what will you have achieved if you taught well--that's the prize.
Then identify the obstacles that will make attaining the prize difficult. Keep distance and find as many ways as possible to remove or sidestep the obstacles. Yet, think a bit about those obstacles--do they hold truths that will help you to teach better? If so, embed into the teaching/learning path.
Chart your path.
Stop, reflect, and revise along the way.
Find allies for your journey.
Happy travels!
