A new year brings a refreshing new start to our daily life AND to your teaching life!  Take a moment and try ONE NEW THING this year!  Take a risk!  Try coding, make room for collaboration, try starting each period with a 1 minute breathing exercise, model mindfulness, MAKE MISTAKES and learn from them!  Take a look at THIS EASY ARTICLE about easy ways to try something new to make your teaching more effective!
