Today, I really worked my butt off - almost literally a 17-hour day. This might well be the busiest week of the year for me, as all the World Literature papers are due to IB on Friday. A lot of the writing workshop time I had planned for it were lost to snow days, and so we've had to get them done in a very short amount of time. It's intense. I need to get 84 decent essays off to Switzerland (or wherever they're being scored this year) in about 72 hours from now. All of my students are at various stages of completion and quality. It's intense. I'm kind of loving it, but I'm more excited to do it again next year, differently.
Baseball season, unbelievably, starts up next week. I'm not sure how that's going to go with all the snow, but I am looking forward to it. Today was the rules meeting, across town, another of my commitments today. It was a long one.

Hello Busy Educator!
Marjan Glavac here from the Busy Educator's Newsletter.
This year, I'm celebrating the 12th year anniversary of The Busy Educator's Newsletter.
It's one of the longest running newsletters on the Internet devoted to helping teachers become their best.
To celebrate this anniversary, and the start of a new year, I'm offering something special to teachers.
It's an eBook from my good colleague and friend Rob Plevin.
Rob Plevin, a retired Deputy Head of a school for children with severe behavior problems, is making his 107 page Magic Classroom Management eBook available to all teachers who sign up for my newsletter.
He shares his secrets, tips, tricks, and strategies for improving student behavior in this no cost eBook.
Learn how to....
Teach your students to follow instructions without complaining.
Prevent inappropriate questions and maintain control of your lessons.
Win support from colleagues, parents and administration (which will make your job much easier!).
Motivate all students (especially low achievers and behavior challenges) to produce more higher-quality work for you than they ever have before.
Teach your kids to sit quietly in their seats and actually listen when you're talking.
Silence any noisy class in seconds!
End low-level classroom disruptions, such as whispering. chatting. tapping pencils. dropping things and wandering.
Prevent ALL pupils from swearing - no matter how old they are and no matter how bad their behavior is.
Deal with major crises and confrontations quickly and calmly - knowing full well that you are in total control every step of the way.
Once again, Rob's eBook is available at no charge when you sign up for The Busy Educator's Newsletter.

All the best,
Marjan Glavac
