I'm preparing for the HWDSB LTO list interview and so I am sorting through all of the handy resources I have collected throughout the 13 years since I have graduated from Teacher's College.... this whole process has caused a whole lot of reflection, so much so, that it has found its way into a poem:
A Reflection Poem
Note-to-self: remember when the world was new.
It's a wonderful thing when you can see the change in those keen eyes staring at you from the hard green plastic chairs...
The surprise of the voices - the messages - slamming into brains.
Power & passion
My recurring Epiphany - which occurs
Every couple of months;
I re-realize that
The kids ARE learning and excited
And excited ABOUT learning
And learning is EXCITING
because it is easy enough to forget
That we didn't always know
