Excellence is understanding those who worry about being worthy certainly are.....
As we close out on 2014 in the coming weeks, we look at what has been accomplished thus far. So much has been accomplished - curriculum work, piloting ELA, scoring guide attempts, reading focus, Educator Effectiveness and then magically putting it together to inspire our students--- and we should sigh with satisfaction at all the pieces we continuously juggle better than we think we do. It is at this time that we must remind ourselves that, teaching is challenging. It is continuous progress not perfection, because things are changing at such a rapid pace, that matters. It is not teachers and educators who get feedback and look back and regret, but those who look forward, reflect and continuously refine that are the excellent ones. The struggle will continue yet the fight is worthy for someone called to be deemed an "educator" whether that is a teacher, support staff or administrator. It takes the whole school community to support and grow our most precious "products" --- the flowering and flourishing children. Way to go educators - way to water those seeds of learning. You are most deserving for a break to prepare for the continued journey in the new year.
