Back to school is on my mind. Here are ten goals for the new year:
1) Nominate students for even more opportunities for them to grow and learn, especially on a state-wide or national level.
2) Lead my department to teamwork. Instead of four people in the same department, I want to be a four-part unit, working toward common goals. This is going to be a major effort since the three people have very different classroom experiences and expectations.
3) Keep up with my grade book and make materials accessible to students online and in physical copy.
4) Have a successful school-wide Mock Election.
5) Put a cap on letters of recommendation. I will write fifteen.
6) Submit the revised Advanced Placement US History syllabus I wrote over the summer before Christmas.
7) Empty one tall and one short file cabinet. Out they go!
8) Reorganize the bookcase next to my desk so it holds materials I use instead of being a repository for stuff I never touch.
9) Try one activity or strategy that is far out of my comfort zone.
10) Build stronger relationships with administrators, work besties, and my mentee. Foster relationships with teachers of other departments.

I am impressed that you have a mentee.
