"Teaching isn’t easy. It will challenge your content knowledge, pedagogical skills, charisma, diplomacy, communication, statistical analysis skills, and a dozen other strands you didn’t know where strands. Some teachers may try to tell you that being happy doesn’t matter. That it’s about results. Data. Performance. Or more rhetorically, the students."

"At some point in your life you've won a game you've never played before or witnessed a young child say or create something with worldly depth." How about this quote from Shunryu Suzuki (a Buddhist monk) "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." Perhaps we need to try to see the world through the eyes of a child, be more open to trying ideas that we think are completely off the wall, to think like a child.

How can we become better teachers? One way is to reflect on our practice. There are times when we team teach or collaborate, but for most teachers our days are spent in our classroom with our students. This post provides 10 great suggestions on ways to reflect on your teaching. Below are a few of the ideas.
* Record video of your lessons (and then share the video with colleagues and have them provide feedback also).
* Ask the students for feedback (this may be a bit scary, but chances are they will have some insights that would assist you)
* Surround yourself with enthusiasm & possibility (all too often we see the negative...try going in the opposite direction and see what happens.
Seven additional ideas are found in this post. Check it out and make some notes for what you might try next year.
