Enjoy A Summer By Planning Today

Summer break is a great time to refresh and renew your teaching spirit! Use the precious weeks away from the students and classroom to wind down from a successful year and reenergize for a new one packed with fun.

Before you leave the classroom, take a few moments to evaluate the year. What did you do right? Where did things go wrong? What did students enjoy? Where can students be challenged further?

By answering these questions you can easily begin to form goals and plan for next year. If you are attending National Leadership Conference, having this plan in hand will help you better prepare for professional development opportunities, exhibitor visits, general sessions, etc. If not, take your plan and scan through the FCCLA website for new things going on or areas you can expand. Don’t forget to include chapter officer goals in the plan!

Now that you’ve worked out a plan for the year, sit back and enjoy a much needed vacation!
