Educated Visions

Let's Talk About the "How."

I heard about this awesome private school group called "Waldorf."  Check them out at http://www.awsna.org/.  As I read their website, I noticed that they speak to many conceptss of Coaching.  So, I gained information about a school that embraces Coaching concepts.  Now what?!!

Classroom Rules

I just had the most wonderful experience at my first weekend of Coach Training.  It was an "in person," 3-day weekend and the learning was absolutely astounding!!!  I have experienced a classroom that I can flourish in and there are some aspects of it that I believe can be transferred into our school classrooms.

What Can We Learn?

A Teacher learns every day they are in the classroom.  Each student has something to Teach.  What if the Teacher went into school each day to be a learner?  Yes, there are lesson plans and curriculum that need to be taught.  What if it wasn't Teaching at all?  What if the plans concepts became a learning tool for both the Teacher AND the student?

New School Year Expectations

Ah, it's that time again.  Schools are gearing up for a new year.  Time for a fresh start.  As a Music Teacher I remember going back to school in the fall with all sorts of goals and dreams.  I was going to be more creative, handle my classes better, get a better system together for organizing my room and so on.  I expected the Principal to be nicer, fellow Teachers to be less "clicky" and students to be better behaved.
