Here we are...back to it! We all agreed while coming back is exciting, it is also scary. We are facing many changes to what and how we are instructing our students. Change is tough...we can face the changes head on or we can bury our heads in the sand. Once thing is for sure...change is here...either we must embrace it and make it our own or as educators we many be facing a change in our occupation :).
We are not alone. Teachers all over are embracing change these first weeks of school. Whether it be the change to a new school, new students, new standards, new administrators, or new shoes (which by the way...my least favorite thing about going back to school is ditching my Nike flip flops. My feet have not adjusted well to the change of dress shoes)...thousands of educators all over our country, like you, are stressed and worried about how to face these changes. Again...we are not alone...
I wanted to share with you two opinions on what the change for education needs to be. Both are from a CNN blog...the first being a short video interview, the other a written blog. Who do you think has the "right" idea for change in our educational system?
Hope your first week back has been great!
