I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.
Ivon I have really enjoyed reading your blog this summer. How you have transformed your blog is incredible. What theme are you using I really really like it.
I just finished my final paper on Awakening Potential and I thought it might interest you. It is lengthy and far too focused on specific development constructs due to the nature of the class but as I started writing I discovered some powerful thoughts with vast implications for educators of learning to awaken the potential of our students.
Have a great last few days of summer and I hope to run into sometime in the near future.
I really worked to shift from a blog that is was about education only to one that looked at the person who was the educator. I had not written poetry in many years, but, as I moved through the summer, I felt pulled in that direction.
It was not so much a theme as a call to this idea and being creative.
I am away for part of next week, but we should touch bases early in the school year. I would be interested in reading your paper.
I so get this – love the idea of God panting the world!
