This is where this discussion comes full circle. Change begins with me. I am not going to rely on someone else to provide me with development opportunities as an educational professional. I am going to find others, through my professional learning network, who will challenge my way of thinking, offer advice and suggestions, and share their ideas about what works in our schools and classrooms. If you are serious about your profession, I would encourage you to do the same.
Being brutally honest about our practices and committment level can cause some discomfort. In fact, I have spent a good part of the last several months scrambling to feel like anything is working, and believe me, I have been pushed and challenged on many issues. But, I also know that meaningful change begins with me…and with you. For things to change for the better, we must change.
