If you don’t have someone in your life who will give you 100% honest, thoughtful, reflective feedback – even when you are not going to want to hear it – you need to find that person. The encouragement and support along the way, along with the critical, reflective feedback from trusted friends, helped to shape this book into what it is. In addition to being art, being a gift, this book is also a reflection of art and a reflection of a gift. Will it be available for purchase – I hope so! I shipped it.Īt the moment, you have the option of downloading the PDF of my book FOR FREE! Yes, the whole thing, online, downloadable and free! Why free? Because I read some wise words from, no surprise, Seth Godin (note: I do read things that other people write as well, I just happen to be drawn to Seth – try him yourself, it’s addictive!). Reynolds illustrate it! (swoon!) But I also know that this is not a book that needs to rest within my iPad any longer. I still would like to make it into a physical book (who doesn’t love a square book?) and I still want to illustrate it (or have someone brilliant like Peter H. The only way to get what I wanted was to suck it up and put it out there! I didn’t want nice! I wanted passion! I wanted adoration or rebuke. Never before have I realized the blah-ness of the word “nice”. So, after writing the foreword, afterword and bibliography I emailed it off to my inspiration, Seth Godin. I “finished” my first book about five days ago. How often do you as a teacher, learn alongside your kids?įor more information and a download of Ship It in PDF format: The ShipIt Journal, now in free PDF format.How often do you allow kids to see parents as teachers?.How do you involve your parents as partners?. What do you do in your school to build parent/teacher/student relationships?.Most of all, I am excited that together, we just might make school different. I am excited to take the leap along with them. I am excited to see parents interested in taking this leap. I also hope that the parents will gain an appreciation for the inquiry process and a better understanding of what their child goes through on a daily basis as a student of an inquiry based curriculum. I want the parents to try out one or both of these tools to see which one works best for them and so I can offer my students the same degree of choice next year. We will be using Seth Godin’s “Ship It” as our guide OR Zig Ziglar’s Pick Four. I love that! My goal is to use this group of parents as a mentor group to the fifth graders when they begin their Exhibition in the Spring next year. So far, of the six replies, four people are interested in more information about this group. The final question asked: Would you be interested in being part of a parent exhibition group that will start in the Fall? We will be meeting as a group to share our passions, check in and support each other, set goals, keep each other accountable and share in the journey together? I sent a survey out to our fifth grade parents to get their feedback on our Exhibition unit. He cites the example of learning about the cut and sew clothing industry which is integral to his branding and merchandising, and nothing he ever thought he would be found spending his time on but it is something that has really helped him gain a fuller understanding of what he does, how best to do it and how it all works together. He encourages us to embrace every part of our passion – even the parts we might not have thought were our passion when we began. In this short video clip, Tony Hawk describes what it means to him to follow his passion. My motto, even though I never really said it, is “Follow Your Passion”.Įven though our “Passions” unit has just come to an end, I am still eagerly gathering examples for next fall of what it means to follow your passion.
