Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

My momma raised me to be honest in spite of what it might do to me.. so here goes. I didn't do the best job I would. Whew, there, I said it, Out loud- here for millions and billions of people to see ( or maybe only my 5 followers) I came to all the sessions. Listened to the instructors, took all I learned to heart, but I didn't blog as much as I was supposed to nor did I share with my students all I could have.

Now that I admitted it, you probably wonder what I am going to do about it. Here's my plan, in 12 easy steps.

1. Put in for some summer money to actually embed this into my curriculum now that I have some down time.
2. Meet with my fellow Anwatin partners in crime to actually talk about and document for years to come, what we are teaching the students at each grade level. Sort of like standards- yeah- standards.
3. Continue the MILI thing next year, if they let me.
4. Put this as the focus of my PDP next year.


That said, I appreciate all the organizers and instructors. I really do. I think most of the time my frustration was with myself and the fact that I thought, " Wow- this is such great stuff!" Now what am I going to do with it? So I did learn a lot of stuff. I really did. And I plan to continue my learning. If you'll have me.
