From 2009 to 2012, Dear Molly (a 1999 Rio Grande Valley alum) blogged about all things classroom management-related for Teach For America’s corps members. Dear Molly is now head of teacher development at Mastery Charter Schools in Philadelphia.
With 2013 upon us, of course resolutions are top of mind. In that spirit, I wanted to share the most popular New Year’s resolutions for corps members that I’ve seen. The year may change, but some things remain the same.

If the Chinese zodiac is any indication, 2013 promises to be full of interesting twists and turns. We asked some of your favorite contributors to reflect on what they are most looking forward to in 2013. Here’s what they said.
As a first-year teacher, my head is often thoroughly in the sand as I attempt to be the teacher my students need me to be. In that regard, I’m excited to take the last bit of 2012 to reflect on my work so far (and the vast threshold for improvement I have), along with my unit four plans (pen-pals, essay competitions and college applications, oh my!) (Blair Mishleau, Twin Cities Corps '12)
