It's a lot to handle! We're going in every direction possible. Sometimes we jump through hoops, burn the candle at both ends, and get ourselves tied up to every procedure, method, and datapoint that comes down the 'pike. Since our school's theme for the 2015/6 school year is Oh, the Places You'll Go, I felt like the image that accompanies this post was appropriate. In typical Dr. Seuss fashion, the illustration takes our eyes all over the page... It's busy. It's cluttered. It's amusing. It's confusing. |
As a special note to teachers: don't lose yourself in the process (competency-based, success criteria, learning intention, NWEA, Canvas...). Allow yourself the freedom to be creative, take risks, and make mistakes. That's where the passion of teaching comes from.
