It is a new year, and we are looking for new writing submissions for our Teacher Writing Page. The fall submissions revealed great energy, reflection, compassion, and skill. If you haven't had the opportunity yet, go back and take a look at the many excellent posts our brave brethren have shared. We look forward to more of the same this year.
The January "Invitation to Write" is a simple one, but one that I believe can lead to great insight into ourselves as teachers and the environment we are trying to create. The writing prompt is this: Choose one physical aspect of your classroom, and describe what it reveals about you as an educator. This could include your room's arrangement, what's on your walls, objects or furniture, etc. What do you have in your classroom, or what have you decided not to have? For the most part, you get to choose what your room looks like and how it's set up; what do your choices say about you as a teacher? Reflect, and share.
It's a great time to step out and submit - start the year off by taking a risk, by practicing your craft, by collaborating with your peers, and by placing yourself exactly where you ask your students to sit - right there at the desk, with pen (or keyboard) in hand. Write a post, and invite someone to write along with you.
As always, follow the submission guidelines here or send your post via email to shannondykstra@gmail.com. The ICTE community looks forward to hearing from you.
