I am nothing if not a curious person. All my life I have wondered and wandered; it's a trait annoying to many and revered by few. Luckily, I managed to find a life calling that best suits these inquisitive needs when I became an educator. Education is the domain for lifelong learning and wonderment. Fortunate are those that are given the opportunity to fulfill the curiosities of students while feeding their own. I am not alone in acknowledging that my best learning has come from a classroom of kindergarten students. Timing for this new teacher is ideal as this is an amazing moment in education for those that wonder; we are on the precipice of trends in education that are leading us to a path of innovation and dynamic growth. I have so many questions about this path and where it will take us I just might burst. In the best way, of course.
Through this blog I will explore my new learning pertaining to education systems while also sharing my experiences in developing into a better classroom teacher. Foolish is the educator that remains stagnant and satisfied, and I fail to see how exploring educational leadership could not also double as a new perspective on teaching. Included in the near future will be posts regarding (but not limited to):
- growth mindset
- guaranteed and viable curriculum
- climate and culture
- standards based learning
- competency based education
Share with me in this journey of questioning and wondering. Participate and allow for some collaborative discussions. I look forward to learning with you, my readers.
The Inquisitive Educator,
Bri Baranowski
