BACK TO THE BEGINNING
”It’s all invented anyway, so we might as well invent a story or a framework of meaning that enhances our quality of life and the life of those around us.”
~Zander & Zander
Just like the shoe salesman that saw endless possibilities with Africa, I too want to be that educator who sees endless possibilities within the classroom. My students are ready for an incredible classroom experience, because they have never experienced the true worth of learning. Life in and of itself truly is all about perspective. With each experience and every encounter our perspective tends to bend and change. How much more should this be when we are shaping the way people learn. Zander and Zander remind me of these premises while I read their book, “Art of Possibility”.

So you think your students are ready for an incredible classroom experience huh? The more and more I think about that statement, the more I wonder if they truly know what that would be if it hit em in the face. They have been so pre-wired to the way public education shovels "learning" that when you go back and teach the way I know you want to, it will be tough for them to accept. Don't let that discourage you for they will start to understand just how incredible what you are shoveling is and how it will make them better learners and people.
