The weather is getting warmer...
There is more and more to do outside...
The always exciting standardized testing is either coming to a close or is in full swing...
You're tired and your patience is wearing thin...
Summer is getting close...
At this juncture you have to make a choice about how you wish to end the year.
This goes the same for teachers and administrators who are equally feeling the tension of the end of the year push.
Are you going to do as you've always done and play it safe?
Are you going to cut a few corners and take the easy route because you know there are only a few days left so what's the big deal?
Are you going to lower your expectations for not just yourself, but also for those around you?
Are you going to end this year quietly and uneventfully...?
We all have a choice to make.
We all have these last few days to make a bigger or more positive impact.
We all have a choice to make that will determine how our students remember us...
Remember teachers, if you don't want your students to check out early and coast through the end of the year, then you better not get caught doing just that.
This also goes for administrators... don't get caught checking out early if you expect your teachers to push strong through the end of the year.
