The first blog I want to look at a few things that made the year more enjoyable and more beneficial


Today is the first day of September id chief and it is time to focus on the academic year again. Year has no heart. This is the final year of PhD research, but also, I will be teaching again with the School of Education. This is the first year of the new masters course in education.
The first blog I want to look at a few things that made the year more enjoyable and more beneficial to me, things that will help me grow and develop as a tutor and as a lifelong learner.
It's easy to forget the consideration and on the revisited. The excuse I often have nor have I time him. But, if I want to develop and grow as a tutor and as a continuous learner is an essential part of the process is, indeed, an essential part of the day. As the work is about, if you do a little each day it will never excessive (it took me a while to learn that particular lesson!). This year I'm going to make an effort to regularly reflect on my work. To help me do that I'm going to keep a diary. I have permission to write or video material or sound file recording. This will give me a little freedom - sometimes I like to write, sometimes I prefer to say things of mouth. If you do this every day, or every day I work is, I can track the progress of my tutor and learner. This is a good way to think about learning strategy that works for you and to reflect on strategies used in the classroom. I will keep an account of the things that work and I will try to determine why they worked. Also, I will consider what has not worked as well as I like and I will try to (a) to determine why they did not work and (b) find a different way to do the next time.
Unlike the teaching or learning strategies are any two. We can all new learning id chief and teaching strategy to learn but we must be honest with ourselves and recognize the strengths and weaknesses within us all. If we can identify the elements we can make more effective use of the strengths and development of the other elements. I am very good, for example, spending id chief a lot of time at the desk. Often, however, that the same amount of work could be done within two hours if properly focused when I am at work. Which greatly helped me last year to set calendar and diary for myself to keep nearby at all times to things that came up and had to be inserted id chief in the calendar to jot down. It is time to undertake the calendar again.
"If it is not on the calendar, it will not". This was recommended to me this last year and it works. id chief I plan out the week. Everything needed id chief to do this week to register for the plan. If the plan is not done, it's that simple. I use "google calendar" for this. The calendar does not change much from week to week, that is to say, the original layout is the same as a calendar or a little rich from week to week but alters the details. Lessons to solve each week, for example, but obviously not the same material being prepared each week. Something I like about "google calendar" or it can be shared with others. This greatly helped me when I started being used initially, when something was written into the calendar and is seen by others had no choice but to do it then.
Has a busy year ahead all over again, class preparation, attending seminars, teaching, organizing extracurricular activities, id chief housework id chief and so on. But, do not forget your health. Should set aside time for yourself to relax every day. I like managed half an hour earlier in the morning and read the newspaper or go out for a walk. Then, in the middle of the day I take another break to go running or swimming - this helps greatly exercise the mind, puts it working again and it's good for your body too. If you prefer to relax at the end of the day and your fitness to do the time, that is fine too, whatever your interest, but do it. It's easy to forget these things id chief or not say we have the time to do them but I work best always have a little rest or exercise. When I default to another person it's much easier to stick to the plan as I do not want to let the other person down.
We are also involved in the preparation classes,
