​A Voice for Innovative Education

Summer Wish List

5/27/2018

0 Comments

 
It is a very awkward time in education.  I admit that it makes me nervous to see so many colleagues angry and upset over pay and benefits because I alone am powerless to change anything and as a rule, I try to solve problems and these issues are well beyond a single person’s action.  It will take many people to make a difference and it is my summer wish that the civic leaders who can effect change do so without hesitancy.  Another summer wish is to ask brave educators to become civic leaders and lead from the front.  It is a time and money commitment, but think of the benefits to the entire education community! Summer is also a good time to sit back and reflect on job satisfaction.  If you are thinking of leaving education altogether, please read my February post: “Thinking of Leaving Education? Read This!” I promise there are many ways to serve the youth within a community; it doesn’t always have to be from the classroom. Most of all, I am sending a summer wish that you temporarily disengage from the politics of education and take time for yourself, family, and friends to renew your spirit and reignite (if needed) the love of teaching and helping others. What is on your summer wish list?
