Maybe It's Time to Refocus


In this article from Tech & Learning, Barbara Bray, president of My eCoach, suggests that if you feel overworked and stressed, if you can't keep your students interested, if things seem to be spinning out of control, it might be time to REFOCUS.

Bray uses REFOCUS as an acronym for:
  • Recognize your strengths and achievements.
  • Empower yourself by reliving peack experiences.
  • Focus at the beginning of each week on the upcoming lessons and activities.
  • Redirect Objectives that you were unable to meet because of time constraints or other challenges.
  • Commit to following through on your new learning targets and planned activities.
  • Unburden yourself of the need to be the "expert" and allow your students more responsibility for their learning.
  • Surprise your students with innovation, imagination, and increased responsibility.
