I wrote a post (http://www.iwasthinking.ca/2007/08/29/about-great-expectations/ ) a while back with the same title – talking about my experience of being the student whose teacher had great expectations & taught me how to believe in myself.

Thank you for believing in our children – and for advocating on their behalf! Teachers are amazing, passionate people!

I look forward to more conversations over coffee!

I like the idea of a statement of intent, a commitment and vision from and for all learners. I think we are moving into a time of more reflective practice in education, beyond the "get it done" mindset, so it's a time of risk-taking and mistake-making. I will be spending much of my year examining student engagement and my own motivation and expectations, too. I have lots of questions and am raring to get started next week. Best wishes to you and your colleagues for a great start to a new year. Thanks for the hopeful message, Dave.
