Sunday Evening Teacher Anxiety

I don't think I am alone in feeling anxiety before a week of teaching begins. Teaching requires all of your intellectual, emotional, and even physical energy to do well, and it can seem daunting that you are about to engage in another week of this work.

I can put myself in a position to be excited for the week rather than anxious about the week if I plan well. Here is what I came up with as a clear explanation of my final benchmark project that I will be leading with this week. The planning relates to this earlier post about clear expectations for projects.
