This last Learning unit that I completed pushed me outside of my comfort zone for sure. I've never used survey monkey and I don't really like to ask too much of my colleagues. Also, I wasn't sure I wanted to put a calendar out there for everyone to see either. Ultimately I can see how both are going to be useful to me and my staff in the immediate future and for plenty of time to come.
This course, continues to challenge me especially in the busy times of November. Parent interviews, reports, course work, personal work at home and of course family life have all challenged me lately and I hope I am coming out on top. I feel like I am, but not always certain.
Last learning block of this course coming up and then Christmas, and following that, the Specialist element of this. I look forward to that as well, however, I am nervous about it. Nothing is going to slow down to allow any more time, so balancing and juggling is the focus of the effort in all of this.
A life lesson there........
What is the origin of your reluctance to go public with a survey and calendar? Perhaps these are indicators, as you noted, of being outside the comfort zone, where really powerful learning takes place. Is this the point at which real teamwork,sharing and collaboration get started?
ReplyDeleteAs for the time involved in courses, it truly is a big commitment. Great that you are already planning to finish the specialist! Good luck with it!
