Here are a few tips for taking care of yourself emotionally as the year winds down:

• Recognize that in every class, every year, we will have successes and failures. We should never give up on students, but we must also realize that there are limits to what we can do.
• Acknowledge shortcomings while keeping them in perspective. We all have skills to nurture and room for growth. Any teacher who thinks they’ve got it all figured out and no longer needs to learn should go ahead and move on to another profession.
• Celebrate successes. Spend more time reflecting on successes you had than on should-haves or wish-I-hads.
• Set a couple of concrete goals for next year and make a plan for working on them. Avoid wishy-washy goals like “I’m going to work as hard as I can next year,” and try for more attainable ones like “I’m going to use choice as a learning vehicle to help better differentiate learning for students.”
