Introduction

This Journal is for teachers who make a difference in the lives of children and need a resource to stay organized by documenting instructional material, daily experiences, and ideas to become a successful and stress-free teacher.

As a teacher of 17 years, I have taught at a variety of schools, with students and administrators from different backgrounds that require different rules/protocols, which can create challenging experiences. If education is where you believe you are meant to be then it is all about bettering yourself each school year with resources that are beneficial for success.

Documentation will always benefit teachers for parent-teacher conferences, student behavior incidents, and many more unpredictable experiences that may occur in the adventurous daily life of a teacher! I hope and pray that this journal blesses you.
