Wow, teachers, 2022 has been a BIG year hasn’t it?! 

But let me ask you something… how do you really feel about it?

Are you measuring yourself backwards and really appreciating how far you have come, OR have you gotten yourself in the habit of measuring yourself forwards to goalposts that are always changing? 

This concept is from the book ‘The Gap and The Gain’ by Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy, and is so useful in helping YOU see how you can transform your idea of success in the classroom in 2023!

Here are your FINDING THE GAINS journal prompts (as promised!)

• In the past year, what experiences have I had that have made me a better teacher?
• What do I know now or what can I do now that I didn’t know at the start of the year?
• What are 3 things that past me would be so proud of if they saw how the year unfolded?
• What have I done this week that has been a step forward in my teaching?
• How have I taken the steps to being a stronger teacher this week?
• What do I know about classroom management now that I didn’t know when I was still at uni?
• What am I grateful about where I am at in my teaching journey?
