It has been a busy week. This week, in addition to really getting school going, on Saturday we also hosted a Marching Band Competition for the first time in Mukwonago, went to another competition on Sunday, and tried keeping up with recruiting 5th grade students into our band program and keep up with class work. It's been a bit challenging.
This week's assignments was viewing a Jeff Skoll video about change and talking about data. We learned a lot about data in a course earlier in the cohort, but this spoke more about how to make change happen successfully rather than just making data happen. We learned in the game we played in August, about how much discussion was needed for positive change to really occur. That has been a real test in education these past 9 months. The scary thought is, if we don't act on our educational beliefs, who will? What might happen if no educator fights for education? How will America survive the global future?
These are all questions that require us to act and to do so smartly, so that we are as successful as our we desire for our students. This course has been a real eye opener for me, especially the game we played, and I hope that as the years go on in education, that we can all gain strength together and fight for our students.
