Too much emphasis is placed on personality, emotional connection and moral purpose and not enough on teaching as a skill you can either be good at, rubbish at or somewhere in between. It's not a crusade, it's a craft.
"You never teach a subject, you always teach a child. You teach children in a way that they will learn, and then things will fall in place for them." —Dorothy Height, Educator
On a mission to find administrators and superintendents who are (1) pushing back on test-driven policies, (2) actively supporting work/life balance for teachers, (3) investing in positive school culture.
Ready to shine a bright spotlight; just point me in the right direction.
My plans for my “sick day” tomorrow:
• sleep in until 9
• treat myself to a book and breakfast at my fav breakfast place
• see niece (1) and nephew at 11
• see niece (2) around 4
• get lots of baby cuddles
• read for the rest of the evening
