This year I am committing to using a blog for my class assignments, notes and reminders. I also am planning on using a specific twitter hashtag to connect with students during class as well. This year, I am changing how I collect assignments and I believe that embracing technology will help me to commit and be consistent. As Eric said in the google hangout today, the main focus must be pedagogy and technology helps with that.
I chose to focus my final blog on high expectations because I believe that is the center of all our work. As a teacher, we must hold our students to high standards and help them to grow and reach or exceed those expectations. As leaders, we must hold our staff to high standards and provide high levels of trust and support along the way. Lastly, as educators in any job, we must have high expectations for ourselves and continually push ourselves. Through this process, we will push other teachers, grow students and create meaningful change.
