Day 46:

On Tuesdays at my school students are let out at 1:29pm so the faculty can hold Professional Development meetings.

Today’s meeting required for the various departments to get together to engage in departmental discourse. Surprisingly, the administration ordered us to meet in the classroom of a Math and Science teacher.

The ‘why’ is unknown; however, the ‘what happened’ is clear.

While sitting in this foreign land I was able to take in some sights. Strewed about were instructional posters from which I was able to learn. From simply looking around I was able to glean ideas that would, or at the very least could, make me a better teacher.

And in that environment the essence of this project was embodied.

The point of these 180 days is to open my heart, ears, eyes and mind to the world around me so that I might learn.

The point of this project is to become a learner so that I might become a better doer, a better be-er, a better me-er.

Today I learned that lessons abound.
Today I learned that all I must do is look around.
Today I learned that when I seek, it shall be found.

What have you found lately?
