There are a ton of blog posts talking about resolutions for the New Year, and I can’t say that I am really big into them (see Every Day a New Year’s Resolution).
I do however believe that we need to continue to help build schools that will serve our students for their future, and we need to do that now. Put aside the “what should our school look like in five years?” question, and create a vision that you can work towards right now. It is not that I do not believe in having a vision, but we need to do what we can to provide the best learning opportunities for students now. They need the opportunity to pursue their passions in their future.
I have seen a dramatic change in schools from when I started and I know we are on the right track. We can still improve our learning environments for our students and our teachers. Personally, I want to keep connecting educators and help empower them to create the best learning environments for their kids. The video below may help to further our schools in this direction.
