Samantha Neill, a colleague from Buhler, USD 313 (#313teach) challenged us to list our top five teaching non-negtoiables. I put this off because I hadn't gotten the inspiration I thought I needed. So I finally just started typing on my iPhone in bed. Originally I thought I would have to take some time sorting through possibilities, but it turns out these were all on the tip of my tongue already.
It is truly insane to see where I have come from in six years of being an educator. My top five my first year probably would have been:
Ok so number five is still one that I care about. Especially the part about winning. Obviously those aren't exactly the most impactful things to focus on as a teacher. I am glad I have grown! Here are my current top five non-negotiables.
Let me know what you think. Is there anything I left out? Thank you, Samantha Neill for challenging us to do this. We should probably all look at this each year so we know what we're about. *Seriously, teaching competitions should be a thing. Pick a standard to teach and a panel of judges scores each lesson. There could be categories for co-teaching, blended, small group, etc.. Think about it
