That is all I have to say after yesterday!
For as good as I felt about my last professional learning day with the elementary staff, yesterday’s professional learning day did not feel as good.
Did it go well? It depends on your definition of well.
There was attention to new topics.
There was discussion.
There was consideration of the standards.
There was thought of students.
There was a lot of contemplation.
There was challenge to current thinking.
It wasn’t always comfortable, and it may not have gone exactly as planned, but learning is hard! Cognitive dissonance does not initially feel good.
We are in the Learning Pit. Not sure how long we will be there, but at least we are there. When we get out on the other side we will be better for it.
Did it go well?
