Who ever thought that a teacher’s work starts and ends in the school building?
Of course, this weekend was packed with work, I had a tall list to tackle.
On Saturday, my PD on Zoom was exceptional, I am loaded with tools and strategies to attack my planning and teaching of writing.
I came up with an excuse and ordered the best chicken and bacon salad in town.
After my daughter’s revision lesson, during pick-up, I was able to steal a masked chat outside with a couple of parents.
This is economical and insightful, you say so much with only a few sentences.
“I came up with an excuse and ordered the best chicken and bacon salad in town.”
This sounds amazing. You must do me a favour and go for Ivorian chicken at the plastic chairs and grill behind the Shoprite Osu. It’s my own version of the best chicken in town. 😉
The answer is NO. We teachers never, ever, truly leave our work anywhere. I tell my students that I am always, always, always carrying them with me in one way or another. I’ll see something, or read something, or experience something, and I’ll think of how I could teach it or share it. As for your PD on teaching writing, I hope you’ll share some of your adventures as you incorporate your learning!
I am am Elementary school teacher at an International IB School in Accra, Ghana, West Africa. I write with groups of writers, such as Teach Write.
