Realize we impact student engagement and student achievement.
Create video instruction to support your teachers who need help with technology. You can reuse these videos later.
Keep data to show you are teaching and have an impact on achievement.
Set goals each year.
Focus on creating a welcoming environment.
Find the people who are like you and “want to do the work” to have an impact on the students. Test out your new ideas with them.
