[CASL-L] Any advice for a new LMS?

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Congrats! You have joined an amazing profession. Agreed with Maureen & Mary
Ellen about routines. You may find yourself getting overwhelmed. A way to
combat this is to 1) try to get into a 10-min meditation practice every
day. 2) Figure out your two - three radar items (from Brad Gustafson's
*Reclaiming
Our Calling)* that you'd like to focus on for the year. I write them out on
the cover of my bullet journal (a form of therapy for me) each year. I use
my bujo just about every day, so I'm reminded of my radar items. Everything
else I accomplish is bonus.

Have a fabulous year. If you are interested (once/if my school allows
visitors on campus), you are welcome to visit my K - 9 library in
northwestern CT.

Cheers,
~Val
