And finally, I will leave you with this:
This is the end of my last post on our class Ning network for Planning 10 this term. The first link isn’t really appropriate but my students get my sense of humour by now, and we just finished talking about sex-ed, so I put it in anyway. For reasons I cannot express in this venue at this time, I will really miss these two classes!

And finally, I will leave you with this:
1. Make smart, realistic goals for yourself… it takes effort to follow through with your goals, so make them SMART and easier to find success with!
2. Figure out who you are and what is important to you. Don’t let media perceptions change you. Be safe, and if you are going to be a role model for others, be a positive one.
3. Remember that the world is getting smaller, and that we are now global citizens… in a new global market… connected in new ways… take care of your neighbours!
Peace.

Originally posted: January 24th, 2008Reflection upon re-reading and re-posting: I found out that I was promoted to Vice Principal by cell phone, driving home on the 23rd and that’s what led to me saying here, a day later, “For reasons I cannot express in this venue at this time, I will really miss these two classes!” I took my new position February 1st. It was easy to let go of the responsibility of these classes since the semester was over, but I had many sleepless nights working and preparing to let go of my Grad Transitions Coordinator position. Now that I have been a VP for almost half a year, I do not regret the opportunity, but still find being out of the classroom tough. Some great teachers have made this transition easier for me. |
