This week was short in the number of school days, but tremendously impactful in regards to my professional development. Today I presented a workshop called, "A Defining Moment." It was a concept I learned from Susan Kovalik this summer at the TFI summer symposium. It is all about trying to present each student with a special or defining moment in their education, a moment they will remember for the rest of their lives. Teaching isn't all about EOG scores and data, it is also about personal development and teaching kids to be global citizens. Susan's presentation was so moving to me that I wanted to share it with my colleagues. I could tell from the eye contact, engagement and feedback that my presentation really made a difference. It felt so good to share my knowledge and experience with my colleagues. Hopefully many more students at my school will have "defining moments" this year because of my workshop.
