What if...
What if we recorded all of our ideas here? What if this became the place to make a note about what went well today and what went poorly? What if all of our complaints about the year were recorded here? What if this became a place to have long, after-hours pedagogical and personal conversations about our classrooms, campus, district, and state in the comfort of our homes whenever time presented itself?
Throughout the year, we all have lots of ideas flitting in and out of our heads. Some ideas come to fruition in our classrooms and we're either relieved or upset at the results. Other ideas just simmer in the back of our mind, stagnant or on the verge of being forgotten. Between us all, we have an incredible wealth of resources and would make one hell of a teacher with our combined expertise.
Now can be the time to get serious about thinking about your teaching. Here is a platform where you can be obliged to your colleagues to put forth an idea or two for consideration. While presenting very little stress, having an audience to write to could put you into a better position to reflect on improving your teaching.
If you care to join this experiment in group teacher blogging, email me and I'll add you to the list of contributors. Even if you are afraid of that committment (what's wrong with you?), check in from time to time and leave comments for the rest of us to ponder.
What if we had time to look back on a year's worth of reflections? How much better would our teaching be the year after?
