You.
Got.
This.
Three important words that I bring back into my consciousness each and every September. My mantra, of sorts. As a begin the second year in a new assignment I am committed showing up open, clear, and curious for myself, my students, and our learning journey together.
A New Adventure!
Speaking of a journey, I begin this year’s journey with a new colleague. As we begin the slow entry into our class theme this year, The Science of Creativity, I am very excited to work with an heart-led educator. Her experience, passion, joy, and desire to get curious and lead learning with her heart has made her the most reflective and introspective educator that I have had the privilege of working with in over twenty-years.
Much I have to learn. Much I have to share. Much I have to create. Much I have to bring joy and heart back into my lifelong profession. Thank, Barb. Let the journey begin.
A New/Old Relationship
We have been talking about this for several months in our house: my son and I will be sharing our learning environment together at school! James has been nothing if honest and open about his feelings around this unique adaptation in our relationship from just father/son to teacher/learner. I’m not sure many twelve-years could possess the social-emotional awareness that James has brought to this adventure. Sure, it’s early on. And perhaps we’re still in the honeymoon phase of this new connection. And I do see our relationship being tests and tried. Bending and twisting. But never breaking. More on this story as our journey this year unfolds.
And we’re off…
