You know you’re speeding towards the end of the year when that first heater comes in, and you start sweating non-stop for 20 minutes after walking up the steps at Madison HS (though admittedly, there are a lot of steps) in the middle of the afternoon. Reminders of room 105 at the Taft building for sure.. clothes laying a bit too heavily against the skin, and just waiting for the promise of a cooling shower later in the day.
Ran the third of my professional development series this afternoon– and despite the drowsy-making heat, all was good.. strong sessions of fellow teachers navigating the course website, continuing conversations, and then formulating ideas within borrowed structures– the education advocacy toolkit through the National Staff Development Council, and the strategy map and power analysis documents from the Hyde Square Task Force.
It’s always really gratifying to be able to use and share useful tools–
