Teachers are like gardeners....





  I would like to share a video of Sir Ken Robinson talking about how teachers are like gardeners, tending to individual student' s needs in order to create an environment where they can blossom. “There are seasons of personal growth and there are seasons that are fallow… the very old, like the very young, still have enormous amounts to find out about themselves if the conditions are right…you can’t make a plant grow…what you do is provide the conditions for growth”

Do any of you have these same concerns?




I am not very sure what to write or to talk about, but one thing I am sure of is that   you are going to read my blogs and that scares me just a little. You may wonder why? Well, when I know that what I write is accessible to whoever wants to read it, it makes me very aware of the responsibility of good writing. I want to make sure to use correct grammar and spelling, and I also want to choose topics that will interest others.  I feel a great responsibility in keeping up with the fun task of blogging. I wonder, do any of you have these same concerns?
