Reflective Teaching - 30 Day Challenge Day 30

9/30/2014

1 Comment

 
Day 30 - we made it! 30 Day Blogging Challenge complete. Well, almost complete. 

What would you do as an educator if you weren't afraid?


An interesting question, as I do not consider myself to be afraid of much, either personally or professionally (except birds. Birds terrify me). Although there are several things dancing out on the horizon, things that I want to do, things I would love to do, I wouldn't say it was fear that was keeping me from doing them. I would describe it more as one part pragmatism (let's just say 2014 has been a crazy enough year as it is) and one part slow and steady process towards a goal (or goals). So what is it I'm working towards?

  • teaching kids, not curriculum at all times
  • developing myself as an educational leader and seeing where that may lead me
  • bringing the latest developments in education to my school, even if they aren't quite cutting edge by the time I get to them
  • developing my on-line PLN through the blog and Twitter - thanks for being a part of it!

Although I may think carefully before I choose to do something, it is not out of fear. In general, I am looking for the best path forward, trying to figure out how I can do what is best for students within the parameters that are presented to me. No matter what, I am always looking to do what is best for students.
