I recently turned 30 this year and like any milestone year, I came to one important realization: in order to achieve all that one wants, you must BE THE CHANGE. This applies to all aspects of one's life, both personally and professionally. For me, this meant taking up running and choosing to lead a healthier lifestyle, playing soccer and running my first (of many to come) half-marathons. At school, this involved assuming a leadership role, reflecting on my teaching and re-evaluating how I taught/worked as a teacher of students who are deaf/hard of hearing. I learned one thing: be the change.
So, I took notes, talked to fellow teachers, pinned to numerous Pinterest boards and signed up for a summer class geared towards developing my curriculum and classroom set-up for the coming year. As I've begun to log my hours, I realized how much I took away from fellow Pinners but teacher bloggers as well. And so, I cannot neglect my own blog. I have to start anew, blog about my teaching journey and hope that I can contribute in some way as I've found others to follow. Here goes nothing...
