Do you have everything you need to provide quality instruction to your students throughout the term? Is there anything in your course or lesson that requires students to know how to do before they can practice what they've learned? How many days prior to the start of a course or lesson do you usually begin planning?

These are just some of the many reflective questions I'll be posing to you in today's episode where I go deeper into the first phase of the Plan, Do, Thrive Process.

Planning is the foundational phase. It's where you set your expectations for your course or lesson and determine what is best to help your students succeed. It's also the place where you set yourself up for success in the subsequent phases.

In the Plan phase there are four main components we'll explore:

• being intentional,
• being realistic,
• being committed, and
• being timely.

Asking yourself the questions for each component will guide you in your thinking and evaluation of your own planning. I encourage you to block out some time to really sit with these questions and answer as thoroughly as you can.
