I have needed to put some considerable thought into what this blog will entail. How will it continued to be used? What will my first posts include?
In January of this year I signed my first permanent contract with the Halton District School Board. I have spent the past 3 Junes, Septembers, Januarys, Marches (yes, I know teachers that probably isn't proper grammar) writing and revising my portfolio, resume and cover letters. During those seasons I have reflected on my contributions to the school's culture and the student's learning to showcase my professional accomplishments.
Now that I no longer have the pressure to update my resume three times a year (unless Wilma asks for it;) I need a means to record my professional growth and development between now and my next position.
Plan of action:
I will begin this blog recording my philosophy of education (written in 2007) and my ongoing learning and commitment to student learning as recorded throughout my reading specialist course. I may interrupt the flow with some memories from my past experiences, however, I will conclude my first few posts with a link to my leadership practicum.
Here's to a new adventure.
