Quick tips

Start with one non-negotiable routine

Pick one anchor - morning reading, math, or a nature walk - and protect it for three weeks before adding more.

Log attendance weekly, not monthly

Five minutes on Friday saves hours in June. A simple spreadsheet or paper log works perfectly.

Keep one portfolio sample per subject per month

Twelve samples per subject is plenty for most evaluators and keeps the binder light.

Use your district's own language

When writing objectives, mirror the wording your district uses. It reduces questions and delays.
