We are having a long-term snow day in my area. Specifically, the last day of school was last Thursday–we’ve had four consecutive snow days plus a weekend since school was held.
I’ve done Snow Day recommendations in the past, but with the long-term nature of these Snow Days, I think it’s time to focus this particular Snow Day on the long-term.
If you spend time working today, don’t look to next week. Look to the end of this school year. (It’s looking like July, with the number of missed days….) Look to next year’s big events. Take a look at the trajectory of your program, of your career, of your life.
Look beyond the immediate and start crafting a vision and making some plans for the middle- and long-term.
