There are some school years that make being an educator easy, exciting, fulfilling. The classroom and all its requirements, and all the personality in it, fall into place. As a teacher, as an educator, the craft goes through exponential growth as all the cogs in procedural, administrative, and professional development work seamlessly together–so much of the support necessary to succeed is present, and powerful. It’s just that good of a year–that year undoubtedly made for tremendous learning, growth, and teaching.
And then there are other years . . . where it feels like all you can do is stay afloat, and hope to make it to the end.
This year fell more into the latter. It’s been a whirlwind year–multiple detours, multiple junctures, multiple opportunities, all of which didn’t lead me where I needed to be, where I wanted to be, where I could be the best version of me. But I made it.
As the school year comes to a close for so many of us, whether it was the best year, or the worst year, I want to congratulate everyone on making it another year. As for next year, let’s take a break before we start planning and thinking about what comes next, okay? 😉
