Edssential article from @CristaHazell:
1. Be deadline ready.
Know what you’re meant to be doing for when.
2. Be equipped.
Know your students, make sure you know how they are doing not just academically. Christmas is lovely for lots of us but not for all of our students.
3. Have spares.
Make sure you have extra copies, pens, pencils, books, the equipment you need in your classroom so as to ensure a trouble free start.
