Career Moments

They don't happen often, but I have had a few serendipitous moments that are career defining moments. Today, as I was talking about 'Be a Woodster,' family, and strengths, my students grasped the symbolic chain we were making one by one and they raised it to their chests. It was such a moment, one that said to me, "we are a family, Mr. Wood." If only I could have had a video of the students in that moment.

We tried to recreate the moment, not nearly as perfect...

New Year, Big Changes

With change comes adversity. It's especially tough when everything seems to change all at once: 

• Curriculum
• Resources
• Assignment
• APPR
• Schedules

How about when things change at home, too? What to do with change? Run and hide or face up to it. I choose the latter.

I'm refocusing the content of my professional blog and this  blog will chronicle this year's journey through change. This blog will also serve as my place to "leave something behind." It'll also be a place to share my reaction to articles, books, and other's posts.  

It's time. Tomorrow, I begin anew.
