6 Tips For Finding Inspiration In Your Teaching - 1 views

      This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.

    Lots of short videos (pulled from a full length movie) from interviews with people around the world. Very inspirational! Description from the website: What is it that makes us human ? Is it that we love, that we fight ? That we laugh ? Cry ? Our curiosity ? The quest for discovery ? Driven by these questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,000 women and men in 60 countries. Working with a dedicated team of translators, journalists and cameramen, Yann captures deeply personal and emotional accounts of topics that unite us all; struggles with poverty, war, homophobia, and the future of our planet mixed with moments of love and happiness.

    Excellent TED talk about the power of relationships in teaching. Talks about public schools, but relevant for all teachers at all levels of education. My favorite part? "While you won't like all of them (your students), the key is, they can never, ever know it." How powerful is that in forging relationship?
