PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

As teachers, we are required to develop professionally.  Seems a bit funny, I would think that as a teacher one would want to keep learning, growing, developing.  I teach because I love to learn, anything.

In 2010, I became a Quantum Learning facilitator in the school district where I work.  I love Quantum Learning, a system designed to help me as a teacher use what I know to be a more connected, more effective teacher.  I get to help other teachers become better teachers!  Not only do I get to model for other teachers, I get to embody more and more all that I love about teaching.  It is amazing!  And the more I learn, the more I want to learn!

I just finished four amazing days presenting with four wonderful educators,  I just finished four amazing days with over 100 incredible classroom teachers who are dedicated to improving their teaching, their students' learning, and really, the world.

In public education, we are charged with the education of ALL students who come to our door.  We do not get to pick and choose our students.  If they get suspended or expelled, they come right back to us.  They need us to care about them, and to love them.  And some days, it is really, really hard.  Quantum Learning gives me tools to remind me of my purpose:  to teach, love, care for ALL my students.  Our students need us to give 100% every day, so they can learn as much as possible.  Quantum Learning gives me tools so that I can do that and help my fellow teachers do it as well.   Our students need to know about learning, how to learn, how to remember, and not just how to do it, but that they CAN do it!  Quantum Learning gives me the tools and the information so I can do just that.

I just finished four miraculous days with miracle workers!  I am so lucky!

Why so long?

I have been on summer break for 2 weeks now, and without a post since February!  What happened? All I can say is, do not wait for the perfect time.  My plan was to write again over our spring break in March, when our campus was devastated by the sudden death of one of our Assistant Principals.  A coronary aneurysm burst the Friday we started spring break, and he died the next Friday.  He put up a valiant fight.  He surprised his doctors, his family, but in the end the damage was too great and he could not go on.  I could not write, and it is still hard.  I cannot imagine what it has been like for his family. Once, year 2 in my career (over 30 years ago), a coworker told me to take time when I needed to take it, that I (nor anyone for that matter) was not that singularly important to the running of the school.  She had me imagine a bucket of water, put my fist in, pull it out, and tell her about the hole that remained.  Of course, there is...

Success, Failure, and Books

I started this year with an idea, an idea that learning was going to be fun.  Even bigger, learning MATH was going to be fun.  We built towers and houses, even a website and a game.  Students asked questions, worked together, shared ideas, laughed, and learned math.  We used math vocabulary to describe what we were doing, and my students had fun.  It was first semester. Second semester came, and with it, major changes.  I had to let go of some content and embrace a different paradigm for DAEP school.  I now supervise independent learning for some students, while teaching others.  I may have less content, but I have more record keeping (have I mentioned that I am not very good at record keeping?)  My days seem longer and I have noticed that I have fallen into the trap of "direct teaching" for an entire class period.  This new group of students gives an appearance of not wanting to fall behind, but grades for the previous semester sugges...

Teacher or Facilitator

One of the things that has really changed for me this year is that each day,  after teaching one class of Spanish 1 and 2, I am no longer in charge of the educational objectives or work for my students.  I am a Transition and KAPE teacher/facilitator. What is that? It is a long story.  I worked all last week on this post, only to reread it and find it nothing more than a complaint, and that is not my intention!  So, I saved it, I may want to revisit it, but this is going to be different. Transition is a program where I facilitate the reintegration of students into the "regular" Discipline Alternative Education Program (DAEP) when they have been assigned a second time in a single school year.  I am responsible for ensuring that they are working on their classwork, while also giving them some new skills so that they do not return again.  The program is everything I could have imagined, but my time has been needed elsewhere as well, so I feel like I have...
