I admit, this blog had great potential that I just allowed to squander this year. It had such great potential to be something that existed to show others one person's journey through the experience of writing a blog. It took a detour (rather several) along the way. I guess I just needed to take some time to find the voice for this outlet. That was a huge revelation for me.
This is my goal. I am going to work to create, curate, and provide content that will further my mission of helping every child become a competitive global graduate. As a teacher first, it is my job to educate not just children, but any student who is willing to learn. A parent, a teacher, a principal, it does not matter. If you have the willingness to learn, then I have the willingness to provide the resources. In a sense, the focus will move from solely a piece about advice to refocus to developing those that want to learn and provide resources that will support all learners.
In addition, I think that I was also overzealous in my goal to blog daily. It is a question I often pose to teachers, is it better to provide instruction that hit on several different topics but briefly or provide instruction that goes further into one topic. Daily was too much for me. Daily was too much for my family, friends, and work. I have not decided on what format I will take; however, I am think that at least monthly I could provide information around a topic and then do my best to update weekly or twice a month with more resources. Targeted professional development would perhaps be a way to to advertise or present this idea.
I look forward to working with all of you in the future. If you have any questions send a message via Twitter. If you have a topic that you would like to discuss let me know.
