[This list is a work-in-progress. Here are things that I want to do/learn/be/experience/create as an educator before I “kick the bucket”. I purpose to be myself, notice things, dream big, connect those thoughts, and then do them.]
- Build and maintain relationships with mentor teachers throughout the world who will broaden my horizons and stretch my worldview.
- Understand multiple intelligences and use them to personalize student learning opportunities.
- Attend EduCon 2.4 in person (January 2012). COMPLETED 1/30/12
- Manage a student directed classroom while still meeting state standards. (I really think it can be done…. I’m just not sure how yet!)
- Visit Mitch Squires’ class and school…. in Sydney, Australia.
- Lose my preconceived notions about what learning should look like, and learn instead to observe students in the act of learning.
- Equip children to relate to other people as global citizens, with respect for personal differences and understanding of cultural differences.
- Spend a week at Reggio Emilia attending their week-long workshop.
- Create a classroom community that is supportive, respectful, energetic, and joyful.
- Obtain my Initial Colorado Teaching License.
