30 Day Challenges for Educators
I'm a list maker. Keeping my ADD mind on track is a struggle. There are so many things I want to try and so many things I want to remember to incorporate in my classroom. This blog is my ultimate list. It gives me a place to catalog all of the innovative ideas I run across. Maybe you'll find it useful as well.
I've found that 30 Day Challenges have helped me remember to try new things. It doesn't hurt that I'm also a bit competitive. 30 Day Challenges encourage me to be competitive with myself...is that a thing? Maybe it's better said that it helps me grow. I print them off and keep them next to my keyboard. Here are a few that I have either used or plan to use.
The 30 Day Happy Teacher Challenge from Presto Plans - This is a great one for mid year to help encourage you through the rest of the year. I've used it for years. Sometimes we share it as a school and other times, I just do it on my own. Give it a try and let me know how you liked it.
If you would like to up the rigor in your challenges, subscribe to 30 Day Teacher. You have no choice but to grow as a teacher working through their daily challenges.
Have you tried any of these challenges? Are their other challenges that helped you grow as an educator? I'd love to hear your feedback.
