Just a short reflection today.
I have just been thinking about how lucky I am. In my role as a deputy head (vice principal) I get to see so many different lessons, interact with such a wide range of staff and students, and also to have some idea about governance. This means that I see different curriculum ideas, learning styles, approaches to teaching and I can pass these on and share with others. Then, with my work with the Open University I can interact with professionals from a wide range of educational organisations. Then there is Twitter! and all the blogs from educators! Oh and friends, and collegaues at the Open University too.
The outcome that I am hoping for, and which I sometimes achieve, is to be able to link others with people and ideas that might enable them to extend their ideas even further. Then they share back again and .... round we go.
I have mentioned this before: when I was younger I wanted to be an engineer and build bridges. I still love bridges, and sometimes I get to build them!
How do you share ideas?
