It's official. I'm tired. Mentally and physically. This is why God gave me a career with the the option of having a couple of months off in the summer. To get re-energized. I have been thinking a lot and taking in a lot of new information the past 2 days. There's all these ideas swimming around in my head. Now is the perfect time to implement a lot of this since I'm mentally pumped for a new year. It doesn't hurt that our new school is beautiful! Makes a difference if you have a nice place physically to work. This morning we learned more about where Spring Branch is going in next 5-6 years. Even with all the budgets cuts and our legislators not making education a priority, Spring Branch is making lemononade out of lemons and going with it. This district runs circles around where I've been in the past.
Here's a few things that stuck with me today while we were talking about this new generation of kids and how they learn differently then we did with all the technology available now.
*Education isn't about how well the kid does in school. It's about how well he does when he gets out of school.
* It's ok to embrace failure.
*There is usually more than one right answer and problem solving is one of the best skills you can teach a kid.
