Nine resolutions for the classroom

Teaching staff
After the long autumn slog, the spring term offers teachers a chance to focus on developing their teaching practice. Adam Riches gives us his nine classroom resolutions for the new year

With the Christmas merriment behind us, along with the longest term of the year, January offers an (almost) fresh start for teachers.

January is a great time to reflect on your practice. Your classes are settled, you have them in routines and you are well underway with teaching the content on the syllabus. These factors give scope for a few new year teaching resolutions. Here are nine things I am going to be experimenting with, developing and making sure I do this year.
