Our Educational Journey

If you think back to your educational journey, what do you remember the most?
Opportunities you had to shine? Opportunities you had to be creative? Opportunities you had to learn from others?
Giving our students opportunities to be themselves in their learning will and DOES make a difference in their educational journey. We must be mindful and involved in our students individual needs as learners.
How do we get to know our students on this level? I wish I could sit here and type that I one-on-one journal with my students on a daily basis, but unfortunately, there is just not enough time. So, I have to be creative. Taking every little moment in the morning, during lifetime (recess), and during leadership time... I talk to them! We have a conversation; not based on academics (unless they bring it up), but more about their personal lives. This allows me to provide the opportunities that are needed for them to enhance their educational journey.
