January marks the beginning of a new year. And with a new year comes new hope, new goals, and new intentions. Here we are again, looking at the new year and asking ourselves what will the new year entail for us. Maybe you're thinking about a goal you'll set for the future or something you might want to change in your life.
The start of the year is also a time to reflect and catch your breath before taking the first step in making a change, whatever that may be. It’s about doing what will benefit you and maybe others in years to come.
As we step into 2023, don't forget to take a breath and reflect on 2022. What will you bring forward into this new year and what will you do differently? Whatever it may be, know that the HPED office is here to support you so don't ever hesitate to reach out.
We are also asking that you take a moment to fill out the SY22-23 HPED Teacher Survey to help us gather information from you to help us understand your professional goals, offer leadership opportunities, wish list items and better support you in the new year!
