"We sometimes feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."

it’s not about me

it’s not about how hard I work planning the lesson

it’s not about how well I teach it

it’s not about me covering material

it’s not about the tests they write

it’s not about the stories I tell

it’s not about “best practice”

ß

it’s an intensely social activity

it’s messy

it takes time ... one drop at a time

it’s not about the textbook they read

it’s not about the mind map they make

it’s not about the problems I explain

it’s not about the projects I assign

it’s not about the tools I use

it’s about the connections they make

it’s about being curious

it’s about the possibilities awakened

Before After

it’s about the difference YOU can make
