Listening to educators like Kevin Honeycutt in podcasts has made me see how vitally important it is to publicly celebrate our successes. We need to be PR people for public education and change the message that the public is getting in regards to schooling. There are so many incredible things going on in our schools around the world, we need to feel empowered as educators to share them, humbly, but proudly!<br /><br />ShaunaShauna Pollockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853791710208137251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956552811464270136.post-8549480121127894282014-09-13T12:04:34.939-07:002014-09-13T12:04:34.939-07:00Hi Maria,

Our class name was "Rainbow Eggheads" and, upon reflecting on our upcoming parting, one of the students said, "We're all hatching!" I immediately started to cry. I love establishing a culture, and even a language, with my students over the course of the year.<br /><br />ShaunaShauna Pollockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853791710208137251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956552811464270136.post-25598074967448101372014-09-13T12:00:31.852-07:002014-09-13T12:00:31.852-07:00Hi Rola,

Accomplishments can be hard to share. But it is so important to reflect on them. Typically our teacher accomplishments are really student accomplishments that we have witnessed and have been a part of. There is no shame in that. And reflecting on them bolsters our confidence that we need to "keep on keeping on" during the times we might not see as much growth. <br /><br />It is great to see students find their voice, be able to share of themselves and "hatch". Your class sounds like a great incubator!Sean Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793158257986607322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956552811464270136.post-86864259321117411382014-09-11T06:23:57.754-07:002014-09-11T06:23:57.754-07:00"Getting to be a part of helping kids "h..."Getting to be a part of helping kids "hatch" into ever better versions of themselves is a humbling experience that I don't often brag about in public."
