I am going to attempt to begin a blog. I am not sure why I find this medium so intimidating but in some way I suppose it is. Maybe it stems to our insecurities. What if someone doesn't agree with me? What if they don't like what I write? Seeing no way around these, I am going to dive in (insecurities and all). I will start with something easy and hopefully over time my posts will become more thoughtful.
Top 4 Things about my Job
1. I get to meet amazing people almost everyday: I have gotten to meet some extraordinary people throughout this year. I have been given an opportunity to expand my PLN (personal learning network) outside of my individual school to all of the schools in the division.
2. I get to see master teachers at work everyday: I get to have the opportunity to observe and team teach with some spectacular teachers. The amount I have learned from these opportunities has impacted my teaching and I feel blessed to be able to work along side teachers of this caliber.
3. I have a new understanding of professional development: I feel like when I have a classroom again my professional development will look much different from how it did in the past. I will seek out the opportunity to observe other teachers in my building. I will ask for others to come and watch me teach and give me specific feedback on how to improve. I will collaborate with others outside of my school. I will seek out what I need to improve my teaching practice.
4. I get to seek out ways to bring learning to life for students: perhaps this should be at the top of my list. I feel like my experience with Galileo has confirmed my belief that learning can be deep, meaningful and fun.
