Returning to the ol wheel

Today I... Found complete units of all the core texts I'm teaching. They were pretty darn good. I now understand:

1.) keep it as simple as you can the first year. Creativity can be a cost for energy, confidence, and ironically, finding yourself in the way you implement existing plans

2.) relatedly, don't reinvent that freaking wheel. I'm not more special than others before me... In fact those others before me wrote some amazing, engaging, personalized plans. I just have to concentrate on executing... Which is a feat sufficient and noble enough the first year! 

Thank you to Plenaries, Sharelesson, and Phil Beadle!
