A series of YESES have led me to helping coordinate a teacher support group of sorts and tonight is our first get together. There's no agenda set in stone-- the idea is to have a regular meeting with teachers from different schools, come together in a safe place to voice frustrations, give each other feedback and support, share best practices, celebrate successes, and form friendships outside of our schools.
As I sit here waiting for my hopefully brand new friends, I'm beginning to have some doubts-- will anyone show up? Part of me questions if this is even a worthwhile endeavor. I was searching for ways to rekindle my passion and excitement for teaching and along the way, this year, I've said YES to things I didn't even see were options.
In September, I said YES to EdCamp, an unconference professional development where I met some of the people I'm getting together with tonight. I finally said YES to social media. I said YES to becoming the Sunshine Committee Chair. I said YES to making a diaper cake. I said YES to becoming the club sponsor for the Student Organization of Latinos. I said YES to showing over-the-top enthusiasm for Homecoming Spirit Week. I said YES to Karma Cards. I said YES to running 200ish miles around Las Vegas with 11 others in the Ragnar relay. I said YES to video-recording myself while teaching. I said YES to starting a blog.
So YES, here we go…
