I believe my students are going to be all right. Some of them, no, many of them will be fabulous. We are going to make some discoveries this year. We’ll run into some surprises. We’ll reach an impasse or two and get beyond it. I’ll make some mistakes right before their very eyes. Some of the mistakes they’ll notice and others they won’t.
I love that you referenced making decisions in the moment; that might be one of my favorite conversations to havd with other teachers: what leads you to your revisions? I love it. My answer is different every minute. And I’ve finally made peace with that.
