Professional goals help you to improve on your professional development, making it easier to plan your future while giving your school administrators the impression that you care about your job. Setting professional goals begin with assessing past events including successes and failures. Then identify your โwhyโ for professional advancement after which you can write down your goals. Your goals should follow the SMART framework.ย
NB: SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.ย ย

Every educator often needs a solid community for support and recreation. Cultivating positive relationships should be part of your new year resolutions because your next professional opportunity may come via the platform of relationships. Cultivating positive relationships begin with knowing yourself and staying true to you. Most relationships thrive on empathy and resourcefulness. However, donโt forget to set boundaries and reciprocate kindness.ย

A billionaire once said, โif you work hard on your job, you can make a living but if you work hard on yourself you can make a fortune.” The bane of professional development is to work hard on yourself to prepare and position you for increased and better opportunities. As a teacher you may want to add attending technical courses on education or relevant certification in your subject field. There are a number of certification courses that are well spaced to fit into your busy schedule as a teacher and some of them are online based.ย

Mindfulness practices are not old-school, they are in fact needed in today’s stressful workplace. In daily life, there are a lot of distractions that fight your focus as a teacher. You’re aware that oftentimes, your job doesn’t end in the classroom. You have to prepare notes for subsequent classes or handle delegated duties. These may affect your work-life balance and possibly your mental health. Mindfulness practices such as meditation, yoga, box breathing exercises, following a to-do list among others should make up part of your resolutions for the New Year.
