I like this video because it reminds us of all the things we are trying to do, and many of the things we should be doing. I don't know how many times I have had the conversation with both new teachers and colleagues alike that it is important to have a balance in our lives. If we have nothing outside of school what is it that we bring to the classroom. What is it that we offer our students?
I know I want my students to be passionate, to embrace new situations and relish the idea of being a life long learning.
This video is not just about staying creative, it is also a check list for being a good teacher. How can we expect our students to be creative, innovative, experimental and open to new experiences if we ourselves do not model this exact behaviour.
