Description

In this episode:
 Listen in as I give you tangible steps that you can use to conduct your mid-year check in. I even get vulnerable and do mine here on the podcast so that you can see how easy and beneficial it is to do one.
I talk about:
I talk about the what, the why and the how of conducting a mid-year check in.
1.The What- a mid-year check in is a meeting that you do with yourself half way through the year and reflect or think about the practices surrounding your literacy block. 
2. The Why- No one in your life knows the highs and lows that you have experienced so far this school year, better than you.
3. The How- designate a place and time to do this. Then you needed to grab a sheet of paper and ask yourself a series of questions.
Quotables:

Now is a perfect time for a check in as the celebrations and pitfalls of the school year are still fresh on your mind.



Although, we like and value the feedback of an admin, coach or colleague. The honest feedback we get from ourselves can and should be just as valued. 



Thinking of what is going well in your classroom will open your eyes and will help you to see just how many wins there are once you have a chance to actually think about it.
